POLICE in Bulawayo are looking for a 17-year-old Gifford High School Form Two pupil who went missing last month.

Nyashadzashe Mchibwa from Suburbs was last seen on September 29 at about 4PM wearing his school uniform.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango said Nyashadzashe did not return home on that day and he has not been seen ever since.

“He was staying at Number 28A Lawley Road, Suburbs, Bulawayo. He is 1,7M tall medium built, dark in complexion and has black hair. He was last seen wearing his khaki school uniform and was carrying a black satchel,” said Insp Simango.

She said members of the public who may have information that will assist to locate the schoolboy should contact the police.

“Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts can contact officer in Charge ZRP Bulawayo Central on landline 09-71515 or the investigating officer Constable Moyo on 0783295527,” she said.

Last year, more than seven pupils mainly from Nkulumane and Emganwini suburb went missing with only two being located.

Olbright Munkuli, 17, a Form Five pupil at Hamilton High School went missing in July and was found at United Bulawayo Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit four months later. Another one, a 15-year- old girl surrendered herself to the police in July last year, two days after police issued an appeal to people who may have seen her after she went missing.

When she turned herself in to the police and asked to be taken home, it was discovered that when she left home in Emakhandeni suburb she had been cohabiting with a 23 year old man who was later jailed for sleeping with a minor.— @nqotshili.
