Sebokeng police have launched a search for 17-year-old Sihle Mabala, who was reported missing after she failed to return home from school.
Sihle was last seen on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, when she left her home in Kanana, Sebokeng, wearing her school uniform and travelled to Fundulwazi Secondary School in Zone 12.
