  • Three-year-old Enzokuhle Mtshobeni  has been found.
  • He went missing in Stellenbosch on Sunday.
  • Three other children are still missing in the province.

A 3-year-old Stellenbosch boy who was reported missing on Sunday, has been found and reunited with his family.

On Tuesday morning, police said Enzokuhle Mtshobeni had been "found safe and unharmed".

They did not release any details about the child's condition or how he was found.

Mtshobeni disappeared while playing outside his home in 8th Avenue, Kayamandi. When his father went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found.

At least four children have disappeared in the Western Cape in the past two weeks.

Police are also investigating the disappearance of Lizalise Mayi, 13, who was last seen by her mother before she attended a funeral in Lower Crossroads, Philippi East, on Saturday. Lizalise was last seen wearing black jeans and a hooded jacket.

In Saldanha Bay on the West Coast, the search for 6-year-old Joshlin Smith continues, with the SA Navy deployed to the coastal town to strengthen search operations. Joshlin disappeared two weeks ago while she was playing outside.

Gugulethu matric pupil, Ongeziwe Kamlana, 17, disappeared last week after attending extra classes at  Fezeka Secondary School. She was last seen on 17 February at about 16:00.

The search for the missing children continues.
