Thami Mashiane: Missing Wits student sparks police investigation

A 21-year-old international relations student has gone missing in Gauteng. Thami Mashiane, a third-year student at Wits University, hasn’t been seen since Sunday morning.

It’s understood she had left home to visit the university in order to sort out her financial aid agreement. However, Thami never completed that journey. Her friends say that they never saw her arrive on campus over the weekend, and her family have gone more than 72 hours without knowing her whereabouts.

Desperate search for missing Wits student

Friends of Thami have been frantically appealing for all the help they can get on social media. Several search parties have been deployed to Braamfontein – where it was suggested the 21-year-old may have wandered to – but ultimately, there have been no breakthroughs in the case.
