A family who has been looking for a missing relative for nearly four months was reunited with him on Sunday, 8 November.
Romeo Macdonald (21) from Cradock was reported missing on 20 July this year after he left his home and never returned.
According to Captain Lariane Jonker, police spokesperson, Macdonald was found safely at the Port Elizabeth railway station in Govan Mbeki.
“A concerned community member added his information and a photo on social media, in the hope that somebody would recognise him and return him home safely,” Jonker said.
An off-duty police official, Constable Florence Matoto deployed at Cradock SAPS, saw the message on social media and diverted it to all the relevant role players.
“Macdonald was then collected at the Erica Safehouse in Port Elizabeth by the investigating officer, D/Sergeant Carmen Steenkamp and safely reunited with his family.”
