Touchline Condemns Kempton Park Killings As Fear Grows Over Women’s Safety. Touchline has expressed his heartbreak over the deaths of five women in Kempton Park, calling the situation in his hometown “concerning, scary and truly heartbreaking.”

The South African rapper took to social media to reflect on the killings and the wider fear experienced by women and children across the country. He also shared his prayers with the families affected by the recent tragedies.

“What’s happening in my hometown of Kempton Park is concerning, scary and truly heartbreaking,” Touchline wrote. “The fact that this is just a highlight of what happens in our country and the fear that our women and children live in under our care is an even bigger issue. Praying for the families.”

His comments come as police investigate the deaths of five women whose bodies were discovered in and around Kempton Park between mid-July and mid-September 2026.

Several of the victims were found near the R21 corridor and in Rhodesfield, with police raising concerns over similarities between the cases. Among those identified was 38-year-old runner and mother Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo, who went missing while out jogging. Her death has left behind an eight-year-old daughter and a grieving family.

The incidents have heightened concerns among residents about the safety of women and children in the area, while also reigniting broader conversations around gender-based violence in South Africa.

Police have since formed a multidisciplinary task team to investigate the cases and increased patrols in affected areas. Authorities have also urged women to avoid walking or running alone in isolated locations. While police have not confirmed that the killings are connected or that a serial killer is involved, the similarities between some of the cases have prompted increased concern.

One suspect is currently in custody in connection with the first murder.

For Touchline, the developments carry a deeply personal weight given his connection to Kempton Park. His decision to speak publicly has added another voice to growing concerns over the safety of women and children, while his message to the victims’ families remains simple: he is praying for them.
