A 19-year-old mentally handicapped man has gone missing from his home in Gugulethu.
Lionel Gqosha, was last seen Tuesday morning wearing black shorts, a white t-shirt, he is light of complexion.
“A man phoned to say he saw Lionel on a train to Cape Town station, where he got off and walked an unfamiliar direction,” says Matthew Gqosha.
However this is not the first time he has gone missing. The last two incidences he was found in Malmesbury and the other in Somerset West. Both times he took the train there.
“Lionel can’t speak, he won’t be able to say where he belongs, but will respond to the nickname ‘Kleintjie’,” says Gqosha.
His family is extremely concerned as he is on medication and does not have it with him.
Anyone with information can call his mother on 072 041 9580 or his brother Matthew on 078 188 8946.
