The police need assistance in locating a male resident of Lerato Park in Roodepan, Kimberley, who disappeared a day after being admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Warrant Officer Molefi Shemane of the Northern Cape Media Centre, the 52-year-old Desmond Olyn was last seen on Friday 13 March when he was admitted to the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital in Kimberley for medical examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, on Saturday 14 March when family members went to visit him at the hospital, they were informed that he had been discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a long-sleeved grey top and blue tracksuit bottoms with trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Kimberley Serious and Violent Crimes Unit are requesting the assistance of the public in locating Olyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with information that can assist in locating Olyn can call the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Kelaegile Mosala, on 082 302 0407 or report information at the nearest police station, call SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or use the MySAPS app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All information received will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
