00:00Nine dead women over the course of just two months.
00:04South Africa is in shock after a series of femicides near Johannesburg,
00:08with the ninth woman discovered this morning, according to police.
00:12South Africa's police is now stepping up its means and has offered a substantial reward for information.
00:18The sooner we identify these victims, the quicker it will assist us to follow specific leads as well as to
00:27crack these particular cases.
00:28So we are calling upon anyone who is aware of any family member who is missing to come forward and
00:34perhaps to assist us in this regard.
00:37There is a matter of reward. Yes, I spoke about that.
00:43There is 400,000 that we are putting on the table so that then we are able to strengthen our
00:48investigations.
00:51The series of killings, unusual for the similarity between the cases, has also sparked concern in the government.
01:00We will leave no stone unturned to bring the culprits to book.
01:10We have set up a high-level, multidisciplinary team under the leadership of the Deputy Provincial Commissioner to lead this
01:22investigation.
01:23For now, police have not yet established a link between the different killings, except for the victims being all women.
01:31Female residents in the area have been warned to avoid exercising or walking alone, while police continue to investigate all
01:38possibilities.
01:39V measurable witnesses.
