She left home on Freedom day to visit a friend and has not been seen since.

The Gezina teen who disappeared almost two weeks ago is yet to be found.

Sinesipho Mbenga (14), a learner at Iona Convent, was last seen on Freedom day leaving her home to visit a friend.

On Monday, her aunt Nomfundo Pitso told Rekord that Mbenga was still missing.

“She left her around 13:00 and said she would return before 18:00 so we started worrying when she did not.”

Pitso said the family later went to the flat Sinesipho was supposed to have visited.

“There was nobody home and neighbours said the family that lived there had left for Limpopo for the long weekend so we assumed she had left with the family,” she said.

“On Monday, her friend came back from Limpopo but Sinesipho was nowhere to be found. She said the last time she saw Sinesipho was on Thursday at school.”

Pitso said she was praying for her safe return.

According to the Pink Ladies missing children’s organisation, Sinesipho was last seen wearing a beige top, dark blue pants and beige sandals.
