Hlengiwe said Alwande was wearing his grey school pants, a white shirt and a grey tie with blue stripes.
“When he left home, he did not show any signs of anger or depression, and it’s strange that he just left home and went to a town he does not even know. He has no mental health condition, however, considering that he has travelled this far for so many days he might be confused, “said Dlamini.

A missing person’s case has been opened at Umlazi police station.
