Police have launched a manhunt after the body of a 56-year-old teacher was found inside her house in Mmadinonyane Village, in Ganyesa outside Vryburg.  

The provincial police spokesperson, Amanda Funani, says she was discovered by her colleagues when they went to check up on her after she failed to report for duty. She says upon their arrival she was found lying on bed, adding that it appears that she was strangled with a rope.

Funani says “the motive of the incident is still unknown and investigation into the matter continues. No arrest has been effected at this stage. The police request anyone who may have information that can assist in the investigation to contact the Ganyesa Detective Commander, Captain Sipho Lisa on 082 443 8753.

“The Provincial Commissioner of North West, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, condemned the incident and indicated that the police will work hard to ensure that the suspect is apprehended.”

OFM News previously reported that a 25-year-old female teacher was strangled to death at her home near Moruleng in Moses Kotane Local Municipality earlier this month.
