Missing teen returns
Tongaat's missing teen returned home last week after disappearing for a month.

After a month of searching by the police and the terrified family of Hambanathi township’s Smangele Linda (15), the teenager returned home last week.
Smangele left home on September 6 and disappeared without trace. Her sister, Nobuhle said they had been worried because all of her friends had denied knowing her whereabouts.
“It is a dangerous world out there and Smangele should have known better than to just disappear,” said Nobuhle.
Smangele returned home last Wednesday after one of her friends finally confessed to the police that she was in Hammarsdale. The friends had gone to a party mid September and Smangele had decided to stay behind because she was afraid of coming home, having left home a week earlier.
It is alleged that Smangele had a fight with one of her sisters on the day she left home and she was afraid to go back because she felt guilty.
