Child still missing!

A mother is frantically looking for her 12-year-old son, who disappeared two days ago after he walked with her life partner to go and buy food.

Dante Zimmerman, who is only 12 years old, is still missing.

Missing 12-year-old boy found

Ms Lynne Zimmerman just spoke to the Middelburg Observer and confirmed that several people contacted her and said they saw Jacques de Winnaar, her life partner (whom she calls her ex-life partner now) with Dante in different areas.

“Someone even said they saw them in Trichardt! I don’t know what to do anymore! My child has been kidnapped for almost 48 hours now. He has short-sleeved clothes on, and just think what can happen to him!”

She also mentioned that she has not received a case number from the police yet.

Anyone who might have information where Dante could be can contact her on 071 200 0631.

• The matter was brought to the attention of the Provincial Police, who referred the journalist to the local media office, who promised to look into it.
