"If anyone sees her, take her in and give us a call to tell us to come and fetch her. We are not sure whether she is safe or where she is," her aunt, Nikuthula Mdletshe said. 

Sinehlanhla has been missing since the end of August. She was last seen at her grandmother's house in Khozi Road.  

Mdletshe feels police are not doing enough to find her.  

She says they were unable to assist when the family received information on her possible whereabouts two weeks ago.

"There's a lead I found about S'ne at Mayvillle. The detective told me that he was busy and he was the only one at the police station and that he can't come out. I went there personally to look for the child. It was a bit difficult for me to ask people to let me in so I could search the place," she said.
