Wednesday September 10 marks 13 days since Sonwabo Mniki, 35, of Fourways, went missing after he reportedly visited his girlfriend at the Respublica Princeton Village student accommodation in Midrand, Gauteng, on 29 August.
He has not been seen since, and his anxious mother and family have been visiting hospitals and mortuaries to try to find him.
Mnikis mother, Nontuthuzelo Mniki, told Sowetan that the family has managed to open a missing persons case after initially battling to do so.
