A 25-year old man is expected to appear in the Mdantsane Magistrates court on Friday.
Charges against him relate to the possession of a cellphone belonging to a 10-year old girl who went missing last weekend.
Police spokesperson, Captain Mluleki Mbi, says the body of the child was discovered in NU8 amongst bushes by a passerby on Thursday.
Mbi says a post mortem will be done to determine the exact cause of death.
Police suspect foul play.
