Trip to Zimbabwe turns into tragedy

Suzan Tshabalala and her friend, Salphinah, were last seen in Chipise, Zimbabwe, before they went missing. The women were reportedly heading towards Masvingo when they seemingly vanished into thin air.

Mpumi last spoke to her mother on 5 July after she arrived in Masisi, Venda. She later learned from people who saw her mother and Salphinah that the two women had been heading to Masvingo for a few days. They left on 22 July and were supposed to return after a couple of days.

"I have no idea what they were doing in Zimbabwe or in Masvingo. I found out from people who saw them that they said they were going to Masvingo for a few days," she told Briefly News.

However, neither one of the women ever made it back. Since their departure to Zimbabwe, there has been no trace of Suzan or Salphinah - no phone calls, sightings, nothing! The disappearance of the two women have their families frantic.
