This as the North West police in Brits urge members of the community to come forward with information that might lead to the tracing of 12-year-old Onthatile Samuel Mogapi. 

Police spokesperson, Adele Myburgh, says the boy was last seen on Sunday, 22 September 2019 at about 13:00. 

She adds that, according to information, his friends have indicated that they last saw him at about 18:00 on the same day at the Damonsville Sports Ground after playing soccer. 

His disappearance comes amidst the disappearance of a 7-year-old girl, Kgothatso Molefe from Tlhabane in Rustenburg, who has been missing since 24 July 2019.

Police spokesperson, Sam Tselanyane, confirmed to OFM News that the little girl is still missing. Molefe was allegedly last seen in a grey uniform along Mokgethi Street in Tlhabane, Rustenburg, getting into a car with two men after one man called her and gave her a chocolate.
