Masego Kgomo (c. 1999 – 31 December 2009) was a South African girl murdered in order to provide body parts for rituals performed by a sangoma. Her murder sparked calls for sangomas to stop using human remains.
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.
