Tributes have been pouring in for a Gauteng teacher whose body was found dumped on a jogging path in Sandton.
The victim, identified as 34-year-old Kirsten Kluyts, was found dumped at the side of a jogging path inside George Lea Park.
Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said a passer-by made the discovery on October 29.
She said a murder case was being investigated by police.
“The circumstances surrounding the death are unknown at this stage, pending further police investigations. No one is currently arrested,” said Nevhuhulwi.
Delta Park High School, the school where Kluyts was an English teacher, posted a moving tribute.
‘It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our much-loved teacher, colleague, and friend, Kirsten Kluyts. Fly high with the angels; we will miss you.’

‘All love to your family. Your life made such a difference. Rest in peace’
‘What a sweet, humble, and dedicated educator, RIP’
In another incident last week, a pupil at Michaelhouse, a prestigious boarding school in KwaZulu-Natal, collapsed and died after experiencing mild flu conditions.
In a statement the school said pupil Zanda Cele had been treated at the school’s medical facility on Wednesday.
“But when he was feeling no better, arrangements were made to take him to the hospital at Hilton Life. Before that could take place, he collapsed, and CPR was applied, to no avail.”
