A 26-year-old aspiring DJ from Durban has gone missing, leaving his family in anguish as they wait for any news of his whereabouts.

Family struggles to sleep, eat amid search
According to Daily Sun, his mother, Fikile Ngcobo, described her son as someone who always kept the family in the loop. She said:
"My son is a communicative person. He would tell us if he was going to come home late or if he had gigs because he's a DJ. But he didn't call after he left for work. That's when we panicked. We tried calling him, but his phone was off. This is terrifying.”

Fikile said the family had no knowledge of anyone who harboured ill feelings towards Sanele. After searching thoroughly in all the places they thought he might be, they eventually went to the police on Monday, 7 September, to formally report him missing.
Beyond deejaying on the side, Sanele was employed as a call centre agent. His mother said the ordeal has taken a heavy toll on her. She added:
"I can't sleep because I don't know what happened to him. But I pray every day for his safe return.”
Police open missing person's enquiry at Pinetown station

According to police, Sanele was last seen dressed in black denim pants, a green T-shirt, and black sandals when he left the New Germany home.
