Missing: Help police find two Mamelodi residents
Police have asked people to help them locate two unrelated missing persons from Mamelodi.
They are Phillemon Duke Mahlangu (63) from Mamelodi East and Thabo Paulos Phasha (37) from Skierlik informal settlement.
Police spokesperson Constable Penelope Khulong said the two went missing on different dates.
Mahlangu was last seen on January 14.
He was wearing a brown hat and brown jacket in the last picture he was taken.
Khulong said Mahlangu's son reported him missing, saying he was with his father in the Pretoria CBD the same day he went missing, as they had not seen each other in a long time.
'After picking him up, they travelled to Mamelodi East and spent the day together. When they parted ways, the victim requested the complainant to drop him off at Tshwane College. That was the last time he saw him,' said Khulong.
The son said they continued speaking on the phone until February, when Mahlangu's phone began going to voicemail.
He has made attempts to look for his father, but he has not been found ever since.
Thabo Paulos Phasha (37) from Skierlik in Mamelodi East was last seen on June 3.
His mother reported him missing.
According to the information received from her, she received a call from her neighbour on June 7, indicating that she had not seen Phasha in three days.
Khulong said the mother claimed she left her home on May 19 and had left the victim at their place of residence.
Upon her return, she enquired with one of the neighbours if they had not seen Phasha. The neighbour informed her that she last saw him at the railway line, and that he did not seem to be in good health.
Phasha was last seen wearing a black jersey, black trousers and black sandals, carrying a black laptop bag.
Anyone who has information about any of the two missing persons can contact Mamelodi East police on 012 815 7000, Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or submit information through the MySAPS App.
'There is no waiting period to report a missing person,' Khulong said.
