Police need help finding a Nellmapius woman
According to the information they received she was last seen going home, but never arrived at her place.
Police need help in locating a 26-year-old woman from Bridgeview informal settlement Nellmapius who went missing last month.
Bongi Phahlamohlaka was last seen on February 28.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Isaac Mcunu said she was reported missing by her sister, Phumzile, on March 1.
She was last seen wearing brown long dress, a black T-shirt and a sky-blue blazer.
Phumzile said she last saw Bongi returning from a visit with her mother.
She said they called her on her cellphone to check if she arrived home safely but it was off.
Phumzile said at the time she didn’t think much of it because Bongi lives in an area prone to power outages. She said she had assumed her cellphone battery had died and she couldn’t charge it.
“We were hoping to see her on Sunday when she comes to church but she never arrived.
“We went to her place to search for her and asked neighbours about her whereabouts but they last saw her on February 28,” said Phumzile.
She said with the help of neighbours, they force her door open but she was nowhere to be found and everything looked fine inside.
Mcunu said police have already started investigating leads.
The family said they searched almost everywhere for her without luck.
Police said there is no waiting period to report a missing person.
