Temon Fontein (11) from Brixton, a boy who went missing on 1 August, has been found.
According to Missing Children South Africa, Fontein was found by a resident, who then alerted the police.
Nicky Rheeder, the operations director at the organisation confirmed that Temon was found safe and unharmed, by a local resident.
Rheeder said Temon was spotted at a house with an unknown woman who claimed to be his mother.
“The community member took Temon by the hand, informed social services and also the police. He was then reunited with his family,” said Rheeder.
In August, his stepmother Yoleen Wildp said the boy left home in the afternoon of 1 August to visit game shops just a block away from their home in Brixton, but never came back.
She said they started panicking and searched for him at about 8pm the same day, and also reported the matter to the police.
Flyers were also distributed by the organisation.
