After failing to get through to her‚ Cost began contacting Pieterse’s “emergency numbers” which the organisation had in their books.
“I spoke to her grandmother and she said she did not know where she was. I then spoke to her brother who told me he had not spoken to her in two months but he thought she was okay‚” Cost said.
In April‚ Pieterse‚ of Vredehoek‚ Cape Town‚ had made it to the regional semi-finals.
Today‚ Cost opened a missing persons docket at the Mondeor police station.
Constable Moloko Kgatla confirmed the case.
“The case was reported and it will be sent to Cape Town for further investigation‚” said Kgatla.
Cost informed Pieterse’s grandmother and has already tried to make contact with the police in Cape Town.
“The police were very supportive. They tried to go to her flat but we did not have the actual number of her flat. We ask anyone who can help us locate her to please contact our twitter handle‚” she said.
