The 20-year-old André Smit who went missing last Wednesday (2 July) has been found.
His disappearance was publicised widely on social media as well as on other networks.
According to his mother Linda Smit, an old friend of a friend of the family contacted her out of the blue to let her know that André has been staying with the family on a smallholding in Tarlton for the past few days.
It is unclear as to why he has not contacted his family to let them know of his whereabouts but his mother says right now it is irrelevant and the family is “extremely thankful that he is unharmed”.
Have you seen André? — 2 July (10am)
The family of 20-year-old André Smit is desperately appealing to the public to come forward with any information regarding his whereabouts.
Smit was last seen by his grandmother at approximately 1pm on 2 July. She resides in Penny Street in Witpoortjie. He told her that he would be visiting a friend by the name of Leon in Culembeeck. His mother says though that they are not aware of any friend by such a name who lives in Culembeeck.
Smit is approximately 1,7m tall, weighs 65kg and has both his ears pierced. He also has a scar on his forearm. On the day of his disappearance he was wearing light blue Nike tracksuit pants with white stripes on the side, a navy jacket, grey T-shirt and brown slippers. Smit had no money and no cellphone on him.
