According to police, the woman went to her mother's home in Port Elizabeth to fetch the child.

Naidu says all their clothes were taken.


"In March 2020 the minor's biological father reported them missing at the Kabega Park police station. The family suspects that Sharlene may be with her child in Durban. 


"Anyone who can assist us in tracing Corbett and her daughter or know of her whereabouts is asked to contact SAPS Kabega Park," added Naidu.
