Johannesburg - The body of a man was found in Soweto on Wednesday morning, Johannesburg metro police said.

“Metro police officers found him just after 6.30am,” spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane said.

The man was found lying on the sidewalk on the corner of Elias Motsoaledi and Khanyile Streets by metro police officers.

“There were no signs of wounds at the moment.”

She said police, who were at the scene, had to investigate whether it was a murder or if he had died due to the weather conditions. - Sapa
