Urgent search for missing Pretoria mother

Family searches for 29-year-old Thikho Sikhwivhilu, last seen in Pretoria West driving a maroon Toyota Etios.

The family of 29-year-old Thikho Sikhwivhilu is desperately searching for her after she went missing in Pretoria West on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Thikho was driving her maroon Toyota Etios Cross with reg: JW 67 CT GP.

Her family is deeply concerned, saying her sudden disappearance is entirely out of character. Thikho is a devoted mother to a six-year-old daughter — and never made it home to her child.

Her brother Mudagasi said on Friday morning, they had still not heard anything from Thikho.

What should you do when you have a missing loved one? 

When a person goes missing, it is of the utmost importance for the SAPS to fulfill our mandate to serve and protect the citizens of South Africa. It is essential to take steps and start the investigation into a missing person’s case immediately. You can assist the SAPS when reporting a missing person by following these steps:

Report a missing person at your nearest police station immediately.

  • Produce a recent photograph of the missing person, if possible.
  • Give a complete description of the missing person’s last whereabouts, clothes that they were wearing, as well as any information that can assist the investigating officer.
  • Complete and sign a SAPS 55(A) form. This form safeguards the SAPS from hoax reports and indemnifies the SAPS to distribute the photograph and information of the missing person.
  • Obtain the investigating officer’s contact details, and send any additional information that might become available.
  • If a missing person is found or returns voluntarily, inform the investigating officer immediately. A SAPS 92 form must be completed to inform the Bureau of Missing Persons that the missing person’s report can be removed from the circulation system.
