Man (21) still missing months on
His father says the family prays for his son's safe return before his June 30 birthday when he turns 22.
The family of a Pretoria North man are still searching to find their son who went missing three months ago.
Ndumiso Sihlangu went missing on March 3 at around 11:00, when he left his home in extension 24, The Orchards, for a meeting.
“He didn’t give much detail about the meeting before he left,” said his father Justice Sihlangu.
He said that they started getting concerned on March 6 when they noticed the 21-year-old had still not returned home.
“I went to my son’s cellphone network provider’s head office to find out when his phone was last active.
“They said it was last active on Sunday – and it was when we were trying to call him,” he said.
Justice said they contacted his friends and nearby relatives to find out if he was either with them or if they had heard from him.
“We have looked for him in hospitals, Johannesburg, places that he likes to visit and mortuaries – the last place a parent would want to visit,” his father said.
The father said they have no leads thus far.
He said the family is devastated as a whole.
He is turning 22 on June 30 and the family wishes he is found before his birthday.
“We pray every day hoping that one day he will show up. I need to remain strong as the father under these circumstances for the sanity of everyone around me.
“We still have hope that he is out somewhere and I believe that he will come back.
“We appeal to anyone with information to please contact the local authorities.
According to Akasia police spokesperson Constable Mabasa, they are still investigating and there were no leads.
“We are still on an ongoing investigation and we ask people to help us find Sihlangu.
