Missing teen last seen in Ezibeleni after leaving home

A family in Ezibeleni is appealing to the public for help in locating a missing young man who has not been seen since leaving home earlier this week.

Milisa Mkhwenkweni was last seen on the morning of 20 April, at around 11:00, after leaving home following an argument, according to his older brother, Lwande Mkhwenkweni.

Since then, he has not returned home, and his family says there has been no contact.

According to the information provided, Milisa was wearing a yellow Ikhala TVET College T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and black flip-flops at the time he disappeared.

His brother said the only item Milisa had with him was his cellphone, which is currently switched off, raising further concern about his whereabouts.

Family growing increasingly worried

The family says the sudden disappearance has left them deeply worried, especially as it is out of character for him not to return home or stay in contact.

They are now urging residents in Ezibeleni, Komani, and surrounding areas to assist by sharing information or reporting any sightings.

Missing person cases are often time-sensitive, and early information can play a critical role in helping locate someone safely.
