Search for missing KZN teacher ends in tragedy

An extensive search for 28-year-old Nomathamsanqu Sinobuhle Ndaba, who went missing on Friday, came to a tragic halt on Monday afternoon, reports Estcourt and Midlands News.

Colenso Police and a member from tracker Ladysmith Police K9 unit searched the area where her white VW Polo – registration number NE 27629 – had stopped.

The K9 Unit picked up a scent near a manhole and that was where the lifeless body of Nadba was recovered.

Nomathamsanqu Ndaba’s White Polo later found abandoned in Greytown.

“The manhole contained cabling from either Eskom or Telkom. This manhole was … about six meters from the R103,” said police spokesperson Captain Bongani Nyathi.

The cause of death will be known once the post-mortem results return. A murder case will be filed at the Colenso police station for further investigation.

Ndaba was a teacher at Kwadlamini High School in Kwadlamini/Nthabamphlope, and a mother of two.
