Police are appealing to members of the public for assistance in locating Sphamandla Thwala, who has been reported missing after travelling from Nhlazatshe to Estcourt in KwaZulu-Natal.
According to information received, Thwala left Nhlazatshe to travel to Estcourt to fetch a relative as his family was preparing for a uMembeso ceremony.
