El 19 de septiembre, la policía sudafricana informó que había encontrado los cuerpos de nueve mujeres en el municipio de Ekurhuleni y que estaba investigando si los asesinatos estaban vinculados. Reuters informó que se realizaron carreras conmemorativas y manifestaciones en todo el país exigiendo medidas contra la violencia de género. Los homicidios, registrados desde julio, han provocado una serie de advertencias policiales; CBS News informó que, tras el hallazgo de la séptima víctima en el área de Kwa-Thema, la policía advirtió a las mujeres que no corrieran allí.

El presidente Cyril Ramaphosa prometió una investigación exhaustiva, según informó la BBC. El 15 de septiembre la BBC anunció el hallazgo de la novena víctima en Dawn Park, Gauteng, y ofreció una recompensa por información. Posteriormente, la BBC también informó sobre una propuesta para clasificar el femicidio como delito independiente.
