Joburg family ‘missing’ in Nepal
Following the quake in Nepal, a Johannesburg family is looking for their relatives.
A Johannesburg family is in desperate search of five of its relatives who were trekking to the base camp at Mount Everest when an earthquake ripped through Nepal, setting off an avalanche on the mountain.
News 24 quoted Serina Rajakan as saying, “We have no reports of their safety.”
According the report, her 52-year-old father, Raymond Rajakan had gone to the mountain with her teenage brother, her cousin and their two uncles who are from Durban.
“They are travelling with the Himalayan Social Journey group,” she said.
The family had had no contact with the men for two days.
Rajakan said the last time the family was in contact with them was on Thursday night, April 23 where they said they would be heading to a place without reception.
“Their traveling itinerary said that on Saturday they would be at Dingboche,” she said.
