BLOEMFONTEIN – The Free State police have confirmed that a missing person file has been opened following the mysterious disappearance of one of their members, Sergeant Vuyiswa Martha Nduna (47) from Bainsvlei Police Station.
Vuyiswa was reportedly last seen by her son at their residence in Abrahamskraal on Friday, 1 August.According to police spokesperson Lt Col Thabo Covane, Vuyiswa had planned a trip to her home in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, and had purchased a bus ticket at a shopping complex in Langenhovenpark.
Covane stated that on the day she was last seen, Vuyiswa asked her son to call a taxi to take her to the bus terminus at the Tourism Centre.
“But there is no record of her boarding the bus to the Eastern Cape,” Covane said.
The last time a police member was reported missing in the province was earlier this year, when three young constables – Linda Cebekhulu (24), Keamogetswe Buys (30), and Boipelo Senoge (20) – mysteriously disappeared, and their lifeless bodies were later recovered.
It is reported that Vuyiswa’s son became concerned about her absence and enquired at her workplace, which led to the opening of the missing person file.
Police have appealed to anyone who may have information that could help locate Vuyiswa to contact the nearest police station or Captain Thapelo Motseki at 082 442 0991.
