Search continues for two missing Klerksdorp men
North West police are looking for two men who went missing on Monday last week from their place of work at Afrikaner Plot, Wessel Street in Meirings Park, Klerksdorp.
The men, Christiaan van Blerk and Donovan van der Walt are believed to be colleagues, police said.
Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Adéle Myburgh said the men left their work place in a white Toyota Hilux Raider bakkie, registration number KWF254NW, to collect spare parts in Klerksdorp Industria, but never returned.
'A search was conducted and all leads followed, but it did not yield positive results,' said Myburgh.
Police said the 34-year-old Van Blerk is 1.8m tall, slender in build, with long brown hair and brown eyes.
'He has a scar on the right side of his face (cheek), a tattoo of a cross on his upper arm and a horse shoe tattoo on his upper leg,' said Myburgh.
Van der Walt, 25, is 1.6m tall, slender in build, with brown hair, light blue eyes, a black moustache and a beard.
'He has various tattoos on his body, with a lion tattoo on the left arm and hand,' said Myburgh.
By Tuesday morning, police said there were no updates on the men's disappearance.
Anyone who has information can contact the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Louis Harmse of the Klerksdorp Detectives on 083 607 1395 or the South African Police Service Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
