Gary Jordaan, the company’s media liaison, who could not disclose too much on the matter, told Northsider that the 20-year-old from Wilgeheuwel was traced outside the province.
“I can’t share the location at this stage,” Jordaan indicated, adding that the youngster’s father will be travelling to the location to fetch his son.
His worried mother, Aladia Mohamed, who is thankful that her son is alive, said they were not informed about the circumstances or conditions in which he was found, but she was happy just to hear their son’s voice again. “He hasn’t informed us about his whereabouts and we are not sure of the circumstances,” she said.
