Umlazi police need help finding missing girl and man
14-year-old Umlazi resident Nonjabulo Luthuli is missing and Umlazi
police are appealing to members of the community to help find her.
The young girl (pictured) was last seen on Saturday, 19 March 2016, wearing a pink and black T-shirt with buttons halfway down it and orange leggings (that look like jeans). Anyone with information on her whereabouts is requested to call Lieutenant Govender of Umlazi SAPS at 031-908 0077.
There's another person from Umlazi who's also missing. Mzwandile Mthembu (pictured above) is 26-years-old. He was last seen on Sunday 20 March 2016 wearing a red T-shirt, blue denim jacket, black jeans and red All Star takkies. Anyone with information of his whereabouts is requested to contact Lieutenant Govender of Umlazi SAPS at 031 908 0077 or the Crime Stop number on 08600 10111.
A listener, who asked not to be named, was scammed out of a copy of her Drivers licence and personal details. She had just put down the phone to Telkom - she'd been trying to resolve a fault, when two young guys arrived at her office offering assistance with applying for a Telkom line. She told them she was so frustrated and he offered to help get a new line installed, saying he worked in Umgeni Road. He took down all her personal info on a Telkom application form and left with a copy of her drivers licence. She called Telkom the next day and they confirmed they don't have staff who cold call in person, only telephonically. She's since called Transunion to activate a "note' onto her ITC record to alert her should someone do a credit check, so she can prevent this guy from getting credit on her name. They've activated this service.
Final Crimewatch today
Finally, on a sad note it's our final Crimewatch show today! We're retiring the feature after many, many years although our Facebook page - East Coast Radio Crimewatch - will still be active so you can post your alerts there.
Thank you for all the info over the years, helping to keep our listeners safe. For the last time for Crimewatch, I'm Diane Macpherson.
