Ayanda Dlamini was rescued on Monday at a lodge in Salt Rock after going missing last week Friday.

The 28-year-old had been last seen leaving her workplace in Bhamshela, north of Durban, after being sent home sick.

Her family grew worried when she didn't arrive home that night.

Police say Dlamini's car was spotted in the Salt Rock.

The man who was driving it was stopped and arrested on Monday.

He's also facing a robbery charge.
