Long-time community caregiver Rebeca Phathakge has appealed to the public for help in tracing the family of David Fourie, who died on December 14.

Phathakge, who has cared for destitute and vulnerable residents for decades, said she met Fourie three weeks ago and took him into her home, where she gave him food and care, as she has done for many others in need.

Following his death, Fourie’s body was taken to a nearby government mortuary.

“While he stayed with me, he mentioned he had two daughters, one named Rolene,” said Phathakge.

She pleads with the community to help find Fourie’s family. Should no relatives come forward, Phathakge also seeks assistance to raise funds for his funeral.

Anyone with information that could assist is asked to call Phathakge on 060 637 4018 or Makgolo on 068 343 2742.
