Woman still missing 4 months on, search continues
The search for Bongi Phahlamohlaka, who has been missing for about four months, is still continuing.
The 26-year-old from Bridgeview informal settlement, Nellmapius, was last seen on February 28.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Isaac Mcunu said the investigations were still ongoing, but police required the community's help in locating the woman.
Mcunu said she was reported missing by her sister, Phumzile, on March 1.
Phumzile said she last saw Bongi returning from a visit with her mother, wearing a long brown dress, a black T-shirt and a sky-blue blazer.
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 forced the door open, but Bongi 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.
Anyone with information can contact the Silverton police on 012 845 4000 or report via the MySAPS App, on 08600 10111 or call Phumzile on 060 717 0602.
There is no waiting period to report a missing person.
