The family of a 19-year-old student is worried sick after she disappeared while waiting to catch a minibus taxi in Mowbray, Cape Town, earlier this week.

“Her classmate, a guy, had to go back to the college for more classes and walked with her ’til there. Since that time, we couldn’t reach her over the phone,” her uncle, Emmanuel Lukika, said on Wednesday.When she had still not returned home on Monday evening, Emmanuel registered a missing persons case with the police.

“We managed to track her phone, to around 14:00 on Monday in a place called Samora Machel. She doesn’t know anyone in Philippi,” he said. “She doesn’t go to far places. She is a student who loves to be at home. She loves books and music in her room or playing with the young ones and babies at home.She was last seen wearing a navy jacket, white polo neck, blue jeans, a beanie, black boots and a pink school bag.For more news your way, download The Citizen’s app for
