Reports circulating on 17 September 2026 indicate that two bodies have been discovered inside a house on Mokgitli Street in the Phumulo section of Kwa-Thema, Springs, in the City of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.
According to multiple accounts shared during the afternoon of 17 September, the location is an active crime scene. Police officers and forensic investigators are present and processing the site. The circumstances surrounding the discovery of the bodies have not been established or publicly detailed at this stage.
Kwa-Thema is a township located south-west of Springs within the Ekurhuleni metropolitan municipality. Phumulo (also referred to as Phomolo in some local references) forms one of its sections. Mokgitli Street (appearing in historical local records with the spelling Mokhitli) is a residential street in that section.
No official statement from the South African Police Service confirming the discovery, the identities of the deceased, the cause of death, or any further details had been issued in available public channels at the time of these reports. Mainstream news outlets had similarly not published verified accounts of the incident by late afternoon on 17 September 2026.
The reports emerge against the backdrop of ongoing police investigations into the deaths of multiple women whose bodies have been found across Ekurhuleni since July 2026. Those cases, which police have placed under a broader multidisciplinary probe, involve discoveries in areas including Kempton Park, Olifantsfontein, Clayville, Kwa-Thema and Dawn Park. One body was found on the side of a road in Kwa-Thema on 15 September 2026 and later identified. Police have not confirmed any connection between the earlier cases and the reports from Mokgitli Street.
