Tributes Pour In for Slain Teenager Machaka Radebe, While Two Other Young Women Remain Missing.
Makalo Mohale, the MEC of Education in the Free State, expressed his profound sadness, stating, “It is truly deplorable that a regular human being would commit such an act against this innocent soul. I am deeply saddened.

This is indeed satanic and devilish. We urge community members to collaborate urgently with law enforcement to apprehend whoever is responsible for this atrocity.” Mohale mentioned that counseling support has been extended to fellow learners and teachers at the school.
Tragically, Radebe’s case is not an isolated incident, as two other young women have gone missing in recent weeks. Authorities in Bloemfontein have opened cases for Lesego Mamello Motaung, 22, reported missing on October 30, and Lerato Masiu, 23, reported missing on November 16.
Free State Provincial Commissioner Lt-Gen Baile Motswenyane has directed the investigative team to ensure justice for Machaka Radebe and to intensify efforts to locate Lesego Mamello Motaung and Lerato Masiu.
