Durban — The family of a missing uMtata man is appealing to the public for assistance in locating Herbert Qedusizi Msimang, 34, who was last seen in Durban North during the recent Amashova cycle race.
As months have passed without any significant leads, the Msimang family has made pleas for information regarding their son’s whereabouts.
Dawn Gounden, the family spokesperson from Renegades Search & Rescue, relayed their “heart-wrenching plea”, emphasising the urgent need for any details that might assist in finding Msimang.
It is reported that he was last spotted on October 21 near Pine Street in Durban, but since then, no further sightings or credible leads have emerged. She said he had reportedly boarded a private taxi from Durban North to Morningside when he was last seen.
“The family is currently on an emotional rollercoaster,” Gounden stated.
“His contributions to the local cycling community and respectful demeanour are well-remembered, further accentuating the pain felt by both family and friends during this distressing time.”
A missing person post on social media has over 600 re-shares.
Khumo Moilwe Mafunda commented: “I am passing Morningside on my way to Durban north thinking I will see him. Praying for him.”
Nola Crowie said: “Praying for his safe return home.”
Gounden further said that Herbert is known for his love of cycling and is a very “well-respected and kind-hearted person.”
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said a missing person’s case has been officially opened for investigation at the Durban North SAPS.
