Kliptown police are asking for assistance in locating the family of the late Xolisa Osborne Matshikiza.
The former community patroller from Kliptown passed away on Tuesday last week at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.
At the time of his passing, Matshikiza was staying alone in one of the shacks in Kliptown and no one knows his family.
Those who know him suspect that he is originally from Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape.
Anyone with information about his family is urged to contact Community Policing Forum patrollers Patricia Dlamini on 076 367 9710 or Thandi Chauke on 078 057 1763.
