MISSING TEENAGERS FOUND
Three teenagers who were reported missing recently have been found and returned to their parents unharmed.
The GO! & Express previously reported (“Teenagers missing”, February 7) that Titimani Yamkela, 17, and Samkelo Gulwa, 18, from Lieveldt Location, were last seen walking towards Gasela High School and never returned home. It was alleged that Yamkela called Samkelo from home prior to the disappearance.
After a preliminary investigation yielded no results, the SAPS called on members of the press to help in their investigations by publicising the names and pictures of the missing teens.
Two teenagers were found on Saturday February 2 at East London's Eastern Beach after being identified by local police.
On that same day, Sanele Nkala, 18, from Ilitha Township outside King William's Town was also found in Mdantsane. Nkala had been reported missing on January 30. All three were found unharmed and have since been handed over to their parents.
King William's Town cluster commander Brigadier Luntu Ngubelanga expressed his gratitude for media houses’ efforts in publishing the trio’s disappearance.
