Where was Tshego last seen?
Tshego was last seen at Westlake Complex Florida, Roodeport at her boyfriend’s place. “Security footage shows Tshego being accompanied by her boyfriend to an unknown grey Jeep. He stayed behind & she left with the driver. That was the last time she was seen.
Despite Tshegofatso Pule’s body found dead, mysteriously her Facebook account was logged on somewhere. It is suspected that the logging on of her Facebook account is connected to her murder.
In a screenshot send by twitter user Ziegh Nkonyane who claimed to be Thegofatso’s sister, her FACEBOOK account showed that it was logged on 36minutes ago.
South African Twitter users are calling for the consideration of the Death penalty after a series of gender-based murders.
