A growing crisis: Fourth woman reported missing

Number of missing women escalates amid growing concern and urgent investigations.

A learner from Mkhulu Combined School, Boniswa Sesi Mafuleki (21) from Kwa-Mapimpane, went missing last Saturday.

According to information, her family was away and she stayed at home, but when they arrived back, she was nowhere to be seen.

The family asked the neighbours if they had seen her, and one neighbour said she had borrowed some money so she could go to town.
She was last seen wearing a pair of jeans, a white crop top, and brown boots, and was carrying a small handbag.

Boniswa’s father, Given Segoane, went to the police station to open a missing person’s case, and has checked the mortuary and hospitals in vain.

The family is urging anyone with information to call 082 228 8299 or 071 136 5763, visit their nearest police station, call Crime Stop on 08600 10111, or use the My SAPS App.

A missing person’s case was opened at the police station, and investigations are underway.
