A miraculous reunion of lost Setswetla boy with his father
A lost Setswetla boy is miraculously reunited with his father Sibongayena Dlamini as local PR councillor Shadrack Mkhonto came to the Alexandra Police Station with the missing boy while the father was opening a missing boy's case in an adjacent room.
There was a happy ending when a lost Setswetla boy was reunited with his father after Good Samaritans found him wandering the streets of Marlboro Gardens in Marlboro at about 09:00 on February 14 and took him in and fed him before seeking assistance.
The two men took the boy to the house of local ActionSA PR councillor Shadrack Mkhonto. Apparently the boy was found wandering around Zinnia Street in Marlboro Gardens by two women who sell by the roadside. They sat with the boy in the hope that a passerby may notice and identify him.
The women gave him food and in the late in the afternoon, decided to ask two men to take the boy to the nearby home of Mkhonto.
“I called Alex FM and asked them to broadcast the story of the lost boy who said his name was Chuku, about five years old and speaks Zulu, which they did,” said Mkhonto.
“As it was getting late, I decided to take the boy to the Alexandra Police Station. Before I could finish my story around the boy, one officer came over and took me and the boy to a side room. He said there was a man reporting a case of a missing boy. As I entered the room with the boy, the father brimmed with happiness and said this is his son that he was reporting missing and they were miraculously reunited.”
The father, Sibongayena Dlamini, said he had left the boy alone at Setswetla and for some reason he then wandered outside and into the streets and all the way to nearby Marlboro Gardens.
A picture of the happy father and boy was taken together with Mkhonto who drove them to their home in Setswetla next to the pedestrian bridge.
