About Justice for Kopano

An investigation into the death of 10-year-old Kopano Molelekedi and the cold case against her killer. Kopano Molelekedi was hit by a speeding car on the busy Albertina Sisulu road in Florida, Roodepoort on September 6, 2018. She was crossing the road to her home in Jerusalem informal settlement. The driver of the vehicle took her to Pennyville Park in Soweto where she died at Noordgesig Clinic. Despite numerous witnesses, the perpetrator has still not been caught. Sunday Times journalist Alex Patrick and podcast producer Paige Muller investigate the case.

Episode 4: An injustice uninvestigated

Of all the injustices in the case of Kopano Molelekedi, a 10-year-old girl struck by a motorist, abducted and dumped in a field far from home - perhaps the biggest is the lack luster investigation into her death by police. From claims that mother Orapaleng was denied opening a missing persons case, to not following up with witnesses who saw the incident. The police play an important part in the lives of the family who lost their little girl.

Episode 1: The little girl who vanished

For five days, 10-year-old Kopano Molelekedi lay in a morgue in Soweto as a girl with no name. Just 15km away, a family was frantically searching for their little girl who never made it back to her mother’s home in the Jerusalema township outside Roodepoort. Finally, on Sunday, a cousin working at Noordgesig Clinic made the connection when she saw the description circulated about the missing girl, and they tracked her to the morgue at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto. This ended the search for Kopano, but it was only the start of a nightmare for her family.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
