VOW 88.1 AREA CODE

IN CONVERSATION WITH BOTLHALE MODISANE, SPOKESPERSON AND REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TSHEGOFATSO FOUNDATION

Families are being urged not to delay reporting a loved one missing, with Missing in Southern Africa (MISA) stressing that the first hours after a disappearance can be critical to finding the person.

While the circumstances surrounding the deaths remain a matter for law enforcement, MISA says the broader focus should also be on what families can do when they first realise that someone is missing.
