Wasbank police are appealing for public assistance to identify a man whose body was found beside the R602 on a farm in the Uithoek area.

The body was discovered on October 12 in the Wasbank policing precinct, but was already in an advanced state of decomposition, making identification difficult.

SAPS spokesperson Sergeant Siyabonga Nkwanyana said police were appealing to anyone with a missing family member matching the description to come forward.

The deceased is estimated to have been between 35 and 40 years old and approximately 1.7 metres tall.

Police appeal for information

He was wearing several items of clothing, including long blue and black jeans, black shorts, white shorts and a black T-shirt with white writing on the front.

Anyone who may be able to identify the man or assist in tracing his relatives is urged to contact Detective Constable Nonkululeko Ngema on 079 696 3545 or Wasbank police station on 034 329 8475.
