Tragic discovery: Body of missing Free State official found buried in a used grave

The search for Disebo Mosupa, a 30-year-old acting youth development officer at Matjhabeng municipality in Welkom, came to a devastating end on Friday morning when her body was found buried in a used grave at a local cemetery. The discovery has sent shockwaves through the community and left many grieving the loss of the young official.

Mosupa was reported missing on Monday, July 15, after her father found her home deserted and ransacked.  A team of police investigators, community members, and family members launched a desperate search, culminating in the grim discovery at Thabong Cemetery.  Forensic investigators exhumed the body from the used grave on Friday morning.

One suspect, aged 37, has been arrested in connection with Mosupa's murder.

The sequence of events leading to Mosupa's disappearance began last week Friday, July 14, when she was last seen by her relatives.  The search effort intensified following her official missing person report, with the community rallying alongside law enforcement in hopes of finding her safe.

The discovery of Mosupa's body brings a devastating conclusion to the hopes for her safe return, leaving the community reeling from the loss of a dedicated young official.  The circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation, and authorities are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.

This tragic incident serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by women in South Africa and underscores the importance of community support and vigilance in protecting individuals from harm.

Farai Diza (FD): What inspires your poetry? Natalia Molebatsi (NM): I am inspired by words and how they are able to influence conversations. Through poetry we can also navigate our emotions and experiences, including the joys and trauma that our bodies carry.
