For the second time in six days, W/O Jacques Botha (44) left his home in Selection Park just after 7am today (Monday) to go to work but never arrived at the Benoni Police Station.
Barries Barnard from Hi5Kids Recovery Unit, says one of Botha’s colleagues informed him that Botha didn’t report for duty this morning.
He disappeared on March 2, also shortly after leaving home for work, and was found later that evening in Sundra by the Sundra CPF.
