15-year-old missing girl found at Kinross taxi rank

When asked where she had been, the girl said she had been to, among others, Leandra, Kinross, Devon and eMbalenhle, visiting friends.

A 15-year-old girl from Standerton who went missing from her home on 29 July, was found at the Kinross taxi rank on 24 August.

According to her, she left home after an argument with her grandmother.

#IAM, a non-profit organisation that fights against any form of abuse, human trafficking, bullying and violence, put up missing posters in Standerton and posted the disappearance on Facebook.

The family of the girl did not report her as missing, but someone from Kinross who had seen one of the posters, saw her and alerted members of #IAM.

The girl was about to get into a taxi when she was found.

When asked where she had been, the girl said she had been to, among others, Leandra, Kinross, Devon and eMbalenhle, visiting friends.

The young girl was safely returned to her grandmother on the same day.

She will receive counselling and her progress will be monitored by #IAM.
