“The 51-year-old Jemina Duba was reported as missing at Vosman Police Station late on Wednesday, 07 September 2022, after her family became concerned that they could not get hold of her. On Thursday, police began their investigation and went to the place where her boyfriend resides in Clewer near Emalahleni. The members were trying to get information from people who knew her and find out if they knew her whereabouts.

Upon arrival, they found a man referred to as her boyfriend, who reportedly informed police that he last saw her on 25 August 2022. Thereafter the man left. Police searched the house without any success but later discovered something sinister outside the house. When they checked around the yard, they saw a pit toilet piled up with soil.”
