OFM News previously reported a girl was found crying next to a butchery in Welkom CBD. She is believed to be between the ages of 16 and 17 years old. Karabo was found in possession of a cell phone that only has four contacts, of which one is a foreigner residing in Durban.

Members of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit were engaged on Thursday and tried several times to speak to her. However, she did not say much. 

She stayed with members of the Lejweleputswa District's FCS until her uncle was found.
