Who was Masego Kgomo?

Masego Kgomo was a South African girl murdered in order to sell some of her body parts to a sangoma. Her murder sparked calls to sangomas to stop murdering children for their body parts.

Kgomo went missing near her home in Soshanguve, a township north of Pretoria, on 31 December 2009. Five people were initially charged with her kidnapping and murder. A suspect led police to Kgomo's body in Soshanguve in the early hours of 9 January 2010.

On 28 November 2011, Judge Billy Mothle found 30-year-old Brian Mangwale guilty of her murder and kidnapping in the Pretoria High Court. Mangwale was sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder and six years imprisonment for her kidnapping.
