NELSPRUIT – Mpumalanga police have launched a search for Constable Baswabile Mildred Silowe aged 26, who is stationed at Lydenburg SAPS. She was reported missing by her family yesterday evening, 12 July 2020.
According to information received, Constable Silowe, who resides in Boiketlo Village, Casteel in Bushbuckridge, left home yesterday afternoon to travel back to Lydenburg using public transport. Upon arriving at Bushbuckridge Shopping Complex where she was to catch a second taxi to Lydenburg, she was apparently offered a lift by an unknown man and immediately informed her sister. Moments later, her sister called to check up on her several times but failed to reach her. She also called Constable Silowe’s roommate who confirmed that she had not arrived. The sister then became worried after failed attempts to trace her and immediately reported the matter to the police.
Constable Silowe was wearing a blue pair of jeans, a black and white t-shirt, and pink sandals.
Anyone with information that can assist in locating Constable Silowe is urged to contact Warrant Officer Nicol Setwane on 072 906 8621. Alternatively, they can call 10111 or 08600 10111 or send an SMS to 32211 or download MYSAPSAPP to send information to the police. Their information will be treated with strictest of confidence.
