Vrou goes missing after jol

Police are looking for a Schaapkraal woman who went missing while attending a street jol in Khayelitsha on Saturday.

Zelda Cecil, 60, says her daughter, Alisha Onckers, 37, a mother of a 12-year-old, left with her friends on Saturday night for a street party in Khayelitsha.

“Alisha went with her two friends who stay here near us. We went to a relative’s party and were home,” she explains.

“Alisha told us she was going to get dressed at one friend’s house so I can lock the house.

“Two days later Alisha still wasn’t home but her friends were walking past our house so I went to ask them where’s Alisha.”

Zelda says according to the friend, the other woman left with her boyfriend after they got into a fight.

The friend’s phone battery apparently died and she asked someone at the street party to charge her phone; but the driver drove off with the phone and in that time she lost Alisha in the crowd.

“She said she saw a black man forcefully holding Alisha’s arm as they went in the crowd while she was shouting for Alisha.

“Alisha couldn’t hear her due to the noise and music and the girl went to the police where they kept her overnight because she was drunk.

“The police went to look for Alisha but didn’t find her.”

Zelda says police went to hospitals and they handed out flyers in Khayelitsha but Alisha has disappeared without a trace.

SAPS’ Andre Traut confirmed a missing persons case was opened at Lingelethu SAPS.

Anyone with information can call Zelda on 066 460 7074, or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
