The 7-year-old boy who went missing after his first day at a Gugulethu School has been found.

Luvuyo Sopaza got lost on his way home from Litha Lower Primary school last week. He was found wandering in the streets and was taken to social workers.

He was reported missing on Monday night and when social workers were alerted, the boy was returned to his family on Tuesday morning, the police’s spokesperson Bernadine Steyn said.

However, police are still looking for four-year-old Phelokazi Qebekwane, who has been reported missing since January 13.

She was playing outside with friends at the time of her disappearance. Her mother is offering a reward of R2000 for anyone with information to her child’s whereabouts.

Bambanani volunteers together with family members continue with the search for her.

Anyone with information should contact Langa Police at 021 695 8000 or Crime Stop at 0860010111.
