When her family enquired about her whereabouts the family said she never arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joy Vrieslaar, a niece of Solomons, says the family made a missing persons report at the Belhar police station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was last wearing a red dress, with white flowers, red leggings and a red tights,\u201d says Vrieslaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story recently had a new twist when someone allegedly saw Solomons or someone resembling her walking in Tokai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMorning, I think I walked past this lady yesterday afternoon. She was walking up the road from the circle at Food Lover\u2019s Market Tokai towards the main Road intersection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHer hair looks like its almost a monks cut. I think she was still in the red dress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought it odd that she didn\u2019t have a bag or anything. It was between 13:00 to 14:00 in the afternoon,\u201d reads a message from the person who may have spotted Solomons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message further reads that Solomons looked a little \u201czoned out\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was fairly clean and had sandals on and was walking aimlessly. She seemed to be by herself which is why I thought it odd that she didn\u2019t have a bag or purse with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a grey haired coloured man who sits on the steps before the intersection and asks for donations (opposite McDonalds) who would have seen her too. It\u2019s very close the the hospital too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to give false hope but I don\u2019t want to dismiss it either.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spot Solomons please call the police on 021 953 8100 or Pink Ladies on 072 214 7439.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family of a 64-year-old woman from Belhar is desperately seeking news about her
