The family of 30-year-old Megan Cassim is seeking the community’s help in locating her after she was last seen leaving her sister and mother’s home in Pheasant Street, Greenshields Park.
Cassim’s sister Andrea Witbooi said they were shattered by her disappearance.
Witbooi last saw her on Friday before leaving for work.
“Before I got into my car to go to work she said she was going to go to the beach to meet some friends.
“When it got to 7pm and she had not returned home we started panicking.
“We had not heard or seen her, nor has anybody seen or communicated with her.
“We went to the police to report it and they said we had to wait 24 hours before they could post that she was missing.
“It has been 48 hours and we still have not found her,” Witbooi said.
She described her sister as a bubbly and vibrant person.
“We have had a lot of family and friends coming over to pray; to try to put the pieces together.
“She is loved by a lot of her friends.
“My sister would not just disappear. She would have notified my mother or told her she was safe, but needed a couple of days.
“The fact that we have not seen or heard from her makes us confused,” Witbooi said.
Police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said Cassim allegedly last left her home on Friday at 7am in her grey Honda Quiz saying she was going to the beach.
“She never returned home and was reported missing at SAPS Walmer by her parents on Friday at about 10.35pm.
“At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a dress with red flowers.
“Police are appealing to anyone who can assist in locating Cassim to urgently contact detective Lieutenant Colonel Estelle Edwards on 079-520-3256, Crime Stop 08600-10111 or their nearest police station,” Janse van Rensburg said.
