Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, spokesperson of the Bramley police said, “We are still appealing to the community to come forward if they have a missing person that fits the description.”
The police found no identification documents on the body.
According to Maphakela, the man appeared to have been in his mid-thirties or early forties.
“A black man was found dressed in a black and blue jacket, long brown pants and he had short black hair. The man was 1,7 m tall and he weighed about 67 kg.”

You must be joking. a black man in this day and age?????
The man is dead. He does nt have to be black or white. Come on sandton chronicle. You guys should know best
Cant believe that in the new south africa, the press can still use race to describe a person.
The man’s race has been made known at the request of the Bramley Police who are trying to establish the identity of the man. The more details that are provided, the better the chances of finding the man’s family. We did not intend to offend our readers, we are simply trying to assist the police.
Lousy excuse Sandton Chronicle. Who implements newspaper regulations between police and the newspapers. Are you telling us that you publish everything as given? If thats the case then I have a serious problm with your newspaper.
Hi Nthabi, thank you for your comment. We love feedback from our readers, and would like to discuss this further. Please contact sc@caxton.co.za or call on 011 889 0659.
Wow Nthabi, Pierre and Masilo – you people are as racially sensitive as a bleeding wound with lemon sauce. Get off your f*cking high horses and grow a braincell – seriously! Since when is it racist to mention someone’s race when giving a description? Anywhere else in the world people would assume these complaints are a joke and yet here people really think this way.
So in your minds for example calling Barack Obama the first black president of the US is a racist statement? You’ll need to write a complaint to every media company in the world. Better get started.
