Nonhlanhla Bodlani, 38, was last seen on 6 September after leaving home with her two-year-old son. Her whereabouts remain unknown, according to information supplied to Missing Person South Africa.

A search is under way for 38-year-old Nonhlanhla Bodlani, who was last seen in Finetown, near Grasmere, Johannesburg, on 6 September 2026.

According to Missing Person South Africa, Bodlani left home at approximately 14:00 pm with her two-year-old son to do laundry at a nearby family member’s house. She reportedly never returned home, and her family has been unable to reach her by phone.

The information provided does not confirm the child’s current whereabouts or establish whether he is also missing.

Bodlani had reportedly left her 17-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son at home before leaving that afternoon. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unknown.

When she was last seen, Bodlani was reportedly wearing a denim jacket, black leggings, white New Balance sneakers and a black hat. She is described as having a light complexion and brown eyes. She also has a gold tooth, which may assist with identification.

At the time the appeal was submitted to Missing Person South Africa, the information provided indicated that the disappearance had not been reported to the South African Police Service (SAPS). No police case number was supplied.

Mid-Ennerdale was listed as the relevant police station, although no contact number was provided.

Anyone with credible information about Bodlani’s whereabouts, or information that could help establish the whereabouts of the child who accompanied her, is urged to come forward.

Information can be shared with Missing Person South Africa on 068 176 9574 or reported to the nearest SAPS station.
