POLICE in Bulawayo are cracking their heads as they try to solve a cryptic puzzle where school pupils disappeared mostly in Emganwini and Nkulumane on a monthly basis for a period stretching from February to May.
Yesterday, there was a story of three pupils that went missing in the city under different but equally baffling circumstances. The police said they were searching for Nontobeko Yolanda Nkomo, 10, of Nkulumane 12, Alington Shereni, 15, and Cyril Ndlovu, 15, both of Emganwini.
Now police have added a fourth name: 18-year-old Thabo Ncube, a former Founders High School pupil from Emganwini.
Inspector Mandlenkosi Moyo said Thabo went missing on February 12, a day after telling family members he was going to his former school to collect his O' Level results. That was the last they saw of him.
Insp Moyo said: "Thabo Ncube is of medium built, about 1,7 metres tall, dark in complexion. He was last seen at around 10AM on February 12 going to collect his Ordinary Level results at school and never returned home."
Cyril was last seen on March 1 at around 8.30AM. He was wearing a green T-Shirt, a black track bottom and Adidas takkies.
Cyril Ndlovu, 15, a Form 3 pupil at Hamilton High School, also from the same suburb, went missing on March 1.
Nontobeko, a Grade 6 pupil at Mgoqo Primary School, went missing on May 26 and Alington was last seen on April 30.
Nontobeko Nkomo is medium built, about 1.2m tall, dark in complexion. She was last seen on May 28 wearing a bottle green pair of trousers, bottle green jersey, bottle green blouse, black shoes, green socks and a green woollen hat. She was carrying a pink and grey satchel.
Alington, a boy, was last seen on April 30 at around 8AM. He said Alington is about 1.2m tall, light in complexion, and of medium build.
Alington was at that time a Form 2 pupil at a college in the Bulawayo city centre.
