A Brackenfell mother and her daughter have been found, after they were reported missing on 24 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mother Mercia Flink (27), with her daughter Runique (3) and stepson, left their home Groenland Farm, Bottelary Road, Brackenfell at around 06:30, going to the clinic, according to Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana from the Western Cape police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says the eight-year-old boy has been found and is reunited with family, but there is no trace of the mother and daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe mother and children were reported missing on Monday by the children\u2019s biological father and her life partner,\u201d says Rwexana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe last time she was seen, Flink was wearing black jeans, a white top and black shoes. She is of average build with very short black hair and dark brown eyes. She has no front teeth. Runique has short red curly hair.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
