The family of Aisha Gracious Nkomo, a Zimbabwean woman living in Pretoria, is appealing to the public for assistance after she reportedly went missing in Kempton Park nearly two weeks ago.
Aisha was reportedly working at a lodge in Kempton Park when she disappeared. According to people close to her, she left her phone behind while it was charging and later walked out with three men. She has reportedly not been seen since, leaving her family and friends deeply concerned about her whereabouts.
Her disappearance has prompted an urgent search, with relatives and those close to her reportedly visiting police stations, hospitals, mortuaries and other locations in an attempt to find information that could help locate her.
### Family continues desperate search
An emotional appeal circulating on social media highlights the family’s distress and their determination to find Aisha. People involved in the search have reportedly checked areas around Kempton Park, including locations near Compton Park and Apple Foods, but no confirmed information about her whereabouts has emerged.
The family has urged members of the public to share information responsibly. They have also warned against spreading rumours or unverified claims, saying misinformation could make an already painful situation even more difficult for those searching for Aisha.
The message circulating online carries a simple but urgent appeal: “She’s still missing. Please help.”
Community members have responded by sharing Aisha’s photograph and details across social media and Zimbabwean community groups in South Africa. The hope is that someone who may have seen her or knows something about her disappearance will come forward.
### Concern following reports of women’s deaths
Aisha’s disappearance has also caused heightened concern because of recent reports involving the deaths of women in and around Kempton Park.
Although there is currently no confirmed information linking Aisha’s disappearance to those cases, the developments have increased anxiety among residents and members of the wider community.
Authorities are investigating the separate incidents, while people following Aisha’s case continue to hope that she will be found safe.
### Public urged to share information
Members of the public who may have information about Aisha’s whereabouts are encouraged to contact her family or report the information to the South African Police Service.
Community members have expressed their support for the family, with many hoping that Aisha will return home safely.
Messages posted online include prayers and appeals for her safe return, reflecting the growing concern surrounding the case.
One community member expressed the hope that Aisha would “return alive,” while others encouraged people to remain alert and share any potentially useful information with the appropriate authorities.
For now, Aisha’s family continues to search for answers. As the investigation and search efforts continue, they are asking anyone with credible information to come forward and help bring her home.
