The authorities in South Africa are now conducting an autopsy to confirm the identity of the body which was found on Tuesday. According to Eyewitness News, a news organisation in South Africa, the body was found that “the section around the starting point of the Platteklip Gorge hiking trail [has been] cordoned off as detectives combed the scene.”

She went missing in South Africa while she was exploring the city’s iconic landmark in March 2017. Nikoi, who is a director at the United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF), has been missing since March 2017 and had initially gone to South Africa to celebrate her wedding anniversary. A comprehensive search has already been conducted over the area on the ground and from the air.

South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world and count among the highest in terms of femicides. Earlier this month, men in Pretoria, the capital, went on a march to denounce violence against women after a young woman was killed by her boyfriend and a child abducted from her home, raped and burned.
