Zekethelo’s mother, Zipho Luphalule of Malukazi near Isipingo, had left her home at 06:00 on June 20, 2024, to go to work and upon returning, she noticed that her daughter was not at home. She was wearing a white top and a pair of green leggings. There have been no sightings, communication or contact since she was last seen.

“I’m still asking for the community to help me find my daughter. I’ve done everything possible, but there’s no information about what happened to her. May the person who took my daughter please return her,” said Zipho.
