THE police in Mmametlhake need urgent help to reunite William Kgaladi Mametsa with his family.
According to Colonel Donald Mdhluli, William (73) from Marapyane was last seen by his younger brother, who lives with him, on Sunday, 14 January at around 12.30pm.
"His younger brother stated that they were together in their house when a herd of cattle entered their yard," Mdhluli said.
He said according to this family member, they both moved the herd of cattle out of the yard.
During this time, his elder brother allegedly told him that he would move the herd of cattle a few kilometres away from their yard.
Since then, the older brother has not returned home.
"A search operation was conducted with other family members, friends and relatives in the neighbourhood, but to no avail," he said.
