    The search for a 92-year-old man who was last seen when he went to visit a neighbour on Valentines day continues.

    The search for a 92-year-old man who was last seen when he went to visit a neighbour on Valentines day continues.

    Speaking to Grocott's Mail this week, police spokesperson, Captain Mali Govender, said the police are still looking for the Extension 9 pensioner.

    Qili "Meyana" Nyamanda of Nomyayi Street in Extension 9 left his home, which he shares with his grandson Mbuleli, at about 7am on 14 February, according to his daughter Nobendiba Kota.

    Kota said Mbuleli lived in Committees Drift, near Glenmore, and only stayed with Nyamanda during weekdays as her son worked in Grahamstown.

    She said Mbuleli grew suspicious after days went by without a sign of Nyamanda.

    He last saw his grandfather on the morning of 14 February.

    "Mbuleli came to do shopping in Grahamstown on the Saturday and went to his Grandpa's home," said Kota.

    She said Mbuleli was surprised to find the house locked and the keys still in the secret place that only the two of them knew about.

    A worried Mbuleli decided to sleep the night hoping that his grandfather would appear.

    Mbuleli went back to Committees Drift on Sunday, to report to the family that Nyamanda hadn't been home the whole weekend.

    Police are seeking the assistance of the public to trace the whereabouts of the missing pensioner.

    According to Govender, Nyamanda was wearing a green hat, black and white jeans, a green and white T-shirt, a blue, denim jacket and a beige pair of Soviet-branded shoes, when he disappeared.

    Anyone with information can contact Warrant Officer Zwane of the Grahamstown SAPS on 046 603 9159 or 082 3317 409; or contact the SAPS Crime Stop number on 08600 10111.
