He was missing since 26 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day of his disappearance Hleza went to Worcester to get a temporary driving licence. This came after he was robbed of his wallet a few days earlier. He reckoned the queue in Worcester wouldn\u2019t be so long, and he would be assisted very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hleza\u2019s disappearance and death is still puzzling to his family, as they are left with many unanswered questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of his disappearance Hleza worked for a company that transports motorcycles across the country. When news broke of his disappearance many people assisted in spreading the news and trying to find him. The last time Hleza\u2019s family heard from him was when he sent a relative a photo of himself filling up his motorcycle at a petrol station in Worcester. After Hleza didn\u2019t return home and his family hadn\u2019t heard anything back from him, they were able to track his movements through an app that bikers use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CCTV footage showed that on Hleza\u2019s return from Worcester he drove a back road past Riebeek Kasteel and ended up in Durbanville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he didn\u2019t make it home. After stopping at a petrol station close to his home and withdrawing money, Hleza drove off in the direction of Malmesbury. It is unclear whether his family were able to track his movements thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis office can confirm that the body was found by the police search team in Du Toit\u2019s Kloof Pass on 5 May,\u201d Van wyk added. \u201cThe body was retrieved by search-and-rescue teams at approximately 14:00. An inquest docket was opened for investigation purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hleza leaves behind his wife Olwethu and five children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lifeless
