3-YEAR-OLD CHILD FOUND WANDERING AT BUS RANK

MBABANE – A three-year-old boy had to spend the night at a police station, after he was found wandering at Siteki bus rank.
Andiswa Motsa, who does not know where home is, was found at the bus rank at around 4pm on Monday.

Good Samaritans then called the police, as they realised that his parents were nowhere to be found.
The little boy was then taken to the police station, after police had walked around the small town with him and he could not point out his parents.
At the police station, he told the police that his father was Xolani Motsa and his mother was Sindisiwe Dlamini.

Police tried to ascertain where he was from and he informed them that he did not know the area or place he called home.

Siblings

The child could not answer if he had any siblings and which school they attended, if he had any.
During investigations, Andiswa could not tell the police who he had been travelling with when he arrived at the bus rank or where they were from.
Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent Phindile Vilakati confirmed that they were looking for relatives of the little boy.

“We were lucky that he could talk and tell us who his parents are. If there is a neighbour or friend of the parents who knows this child, we ask that they contact the police. If an elderly relative also sees the child and they know him, they can call Siteki Desk Officer Manyatsi at 7603 9403 or Sergeant Mkhatshwa at 7655 7244 or the Siteki police at 2343 4422,” she said.

Vilakati pleaded with the public to come forward with positive information, so that the child could be reunited with his family.
She went on to explain that it was not good for a child, emotionally, to spend the night at a police station, since being at an unfamiliar place confuses the child.
