Polokwane police have launched a search for a 36-year-old man who went missing after being discharged from a health facility.
Phanuel Mkhabela disappeared on Friday while at Rethabile Clinic in the Polokwane policing area, police spokesperson Marobo Seabela said.
“Mkhabela, a resident of Cork village in Mpumalanga, had allegedly been admitted at a rehabilitation centre in Polokwane for nine months. His programme had concluded and he was waiting for his family to collect him.”
After his disappearance was flagged, “attempts were made to search for Mkhabela at his relatives’ homes and in surrounding areas, but the efforts did not bear fruit,” Seabela said.
He was wearing a white overall with a reflector strip.
Police have appealed to members of the public who may have information that could assist in locating him to contact the investigating officer, Sgt Mokgadi Molope, on 082 728 9831.
Investigations are continuing.
