Search continues as rain comes back

Should have anyone have any further information please contact your nearest police station

The weather turned again as the search for missing police officer Warrant Officer Jakes Juggan, his wife, Molly, and friend Ashok Rajoo who are all in their mid-fifties, continued this morning.

Following up on every bit of information received, police scoured the area around Nquthu, Tayside, Malonjeni (where Landman’s Drft is again covered in fast flowing water following the overnight rain) and the Ngisane road which are all part of Warrant Officer Juggan’s farm watch patrol area.

All three cellphones have been off since last Friday evening with the last ‘ping’e recorded from the Gregory’s Neck cellphone tower and police earmarked an area near Landman’s Drift, Malonjeni, as the spot where their cellphones last had contact with a tower.

The trio went missing in Warrant Officer Juggan’s Nissan Navara patrol van last Friday evening. It is presumed that Warrant Officer Juggan who runs the Dundee SAPS Farm Watch in the rural areas had gone to check on the state of the rivers, along with his wife and friend. All three are domiciled in the Peacevale area.
