The reward is being issued after police investigations have come to zero, according to News24. Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Sello said:
“It is alleged that Thabethe was playing on the street with other children when an unknown man approached them, asking for directions to a certain house. She volunteered to show the man the house he was looking for and that was the last time she was seen.”
