LITTLE Bokang Baloyi's disappearance has left his family in pain.
The family has looked almost everywhere for the little boy (5), but he is nowhere to be found.
Now they are appealing for help so that Bokang can be reunited with his mother.
According to Bokang's mum Elizabeth Baloyi (42) from Phomolong in Mamelodi East, Tshwane, her son went missing on Thursday, 5 October, when he went to play with friends.
Elizabeth said this is hard for her as she doesn't know where her son is, and what he's eating.
"My son was playing with other children and never came back. Every time he went to play, he would come back home alone. But on Thursday, he never came back," she said.
Elizabeth said her son would visit her father who lived in the same kasi and not far from her home and come back. But the dad and neighbours said they never saw him that day.
"I'm worried because it's almost a week since he went missing," she said.

Elizabeth is pleading with anyone who might have seen Bokang to bring him back or take him to the nearest police station.
Little Bokang's aunt, Martha Baloyi (53), said they're devastated and heartbroken.
"We've looked almost everywhere for him, but he's nowhere to be found," said the aunt.
Family friend Charlie Masemola (42) said: "It's so strange that a little boy could go missing without any trace. The person who took him must please bring him back."
Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo said the family must go to the Mamelodi East Police Station and see the station commander for assistance to get a case number.
Warrant Officer Johan van Dyk from Tshwane District Police confirmed that the Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offences Investigations (FCS) unit is working on the case.
Despite their efforts, Bokang has not been found, and the search continues.
