Alois (Stephen) Mvundla has been found nine days after going missing.
The 68-year-old went missing on 6 May and he was last seen leaving his employer’s house at about 8am.
He was reportedly cycling to Randburg to buy items.
Mvundla’s photo was spread on social media by Pink Ladies and Missing Children South Africa, although Randburg police spokesperson Captain Makwanyana Maja said he was unaware of the incident and no missing persons case had been opened at the station.
Mvundla apparently contacted community members from Kalafong Hospital, Pretoria, on 15 May.
He was admitted to ICU some days before and was transferred to a general ward on 14 May.
According to reports on Facebook, he said he had been drugged at a shop he went to in Randburg.
Apparently someone approached him and told him that if he went with him, he could get his goods cheaper. He got into a white car which was stopped outside on Bram Fischer Drive.
He was told that they were waiting for the truck with the goods. He was offered a cool drink – and cannot remember anything else after drinking that.
His money, cards, ID and bicycle were stolen and he said he does not know how he got to the hospital.
