Members of Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit in Mangaung are looking for a mother of two children estimated to be between the ages of 8 months and 8 years who were left with a stranger in Hanger Street near the local taxi rank complex.
On Friday 3 December 2021 at about 18:30 the 28-year-old lady who is also the complainant alleges that she was walking towards the taxi rank when an unknown African female asked for help.
The unknown African female who was having three children with her pleaded with the complainant to look after the children for a while whilst she went into the tavern to look for the alleged mother.
