UPDATE: West relatives pine for two missing men

Relatives of two missing men in the west of Pretoria continue to worry about their unexplained disappearance.

One of the men, Tyron Lamprecht, was last seen at his home in Booysens on 27 July, around 16:00, by a neighbour.

Since his disappearance last month, many search parties have been launched for him without success.

His sister Bianca told Rekord this week that there were still no new developments in Tyron’s disappearance.

Tyron was last seen wearing a dark blue denim with a light blue shirt.

“We’ve searched everywhere, but we can’t find him,” Bianca said.

“We even searched all the fields and places where he could possibly have been – we’ve literally looked everywhere,” she said.

During a previous interview with Rekord, Bianca said Tyron had left his cellphone at home.

The other missing man is Atteridgeville resident Madimetja France Legong who was last heard of on 1 November 2018.

“His former girlfriend and colleagues at work confirmed to his family he had last been seen there,” said police spokesperson Constable Sibongile Vuma.

She said according to his uncle Johannes Legong, Madimetja was a very down-to-earth person, who did not talk much and was shy.

Johannes of Kalafong Heights told Rekord that he was “devastated” over his nephew’s disappearance.

“We have already searched everywhere for him, but he is nowhere to be found.”

He was offering a reward of R20 000 to anyone that could lead him to his nephew.

“I truly believe that we will get to the bottom of the situation and that the truth will come out,” he said.

“Hopefully, the reward will also help.”

Johannes pleaded with the community to come forward with information that could lead to his nephew.

“We just want to know what happened and where he is,” he said.

“Please help us to track him down.”

Anyone with information should also report it to the police, Vuma said.

“We urge anyone who knows more, to let us know immediately,” she said.

She said tip-offs could also be given to the police anonymously.

“Let us help to reunite this family,” she said.
