Worried parents
Masemola visited the families of the missing constables on Sunday, providing an update on the hijacking and kidnapping case.
He said all available police resources are being deployed to the case and urged the public to assist.
Senoge’s father said he is worried about his daughter.
“I am not sleeping. I keep praying that the children return safe. As a father, when I eat, I wonder if my child has eaten. We don’t know where they are. But we know our God is alive, and they will come back alive.”
Investigations
Police Minister Senzo Mchunu said Masemola has assured the families and the public that every possible lead is being followed.
“The families of the missing members have been met today and will continue to receive support and updates from the Saps leadership. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this incredibly difficult time.
“These are highly valued members of the South African Police Service. We call on the community to assist law enforcement. No piece of information is too small. These are our colleagues, our sons and daughters, and we must act as one in ensuring their safe return,” Mnchunu said.
Anyone with information is requested to contact the investigating officer, Captain Chaacha Manga, on 082 527 6099”, said Minister Mchunu.
