The discovery was made by a 19-year-old man who was looking for cattle.
It has been reported that the man stumbled upon the deceased who was allegedly found lying motionless in the bush and reported the matter to the police.
Mogoditshane Police Station commander, Superintendent Mbiganyi Letsholathebe said the matter was reported on Thursday around 2pm.
Authorities suspect the deceased might have been killed either on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
'The deceased had sustained wounds on his head suspected to have been hit with a blunt object. We do not know if he was killed and later dumped there or he was attacked whilst in the outskirts of the village and killed,' Letsholathebe said.
'We also do not know who the suspect(s) are but we have since launched investigations to establish what really transpired and who is behind his death.'
He added the Molepolole native is currently at a mortuary waiting for post-mortem to be conducted this week.
