More than five months after Kenmare resident Ferdinand Fourie vanished, his family is still searching for answers and urgently appealing to the community for help.

The 50-year-old was last seen on September 19, driving home from work in Dobsonville and never arrived.

According to his wife, Mariette Fourie, he was allegedly kidnapped. She says he is particularly vulnerable as he is diabetic and requires medication.
