Oupa Joseph Mokwakwa (28) went missing after he was released at the Welkom Magistrates Court on 22 December 2023.
He was detained at Odendaalsrus Correctional Services and the case against him was withdrawn due to Oupa not being fit to stand trial according to a medical report from the Bloemfontein Psychiatric hospital.
He was also declared a state patient and was supposed to be sent back to the same hospital in Bloemfontein.
He was never seen after being released at court.
