The police in Phokeng request the community’s assistance in locating a #missing 25-year-old police officer, Kutlwano Joy Tshepe of Monakato Location outside Rustenburg.
Tshepe was last seen at home on Thursday morning, 02 October 2025, by his mother when she left for work. The mother received a call at around 11:00, from her son’s colleagues after he failed to report for duty at Rustenburg Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC). As Tshepe had recently lost his cellphone, his mother then looked for him, including at their relatives and his girlfriend’s place, but that did not yield positive results. He was ultimately reported missing on Sunday, 05 October 2025. Subsequently, searches were conducted around the area, but nothing positive came out of that.
At the time of his disappearance, Tshepe was wearing navy blue jean, with a black T-shirt, and an Adidas top. He is light in complexion with a well-built body.
The police request anyone who may have information that can assist in tracing the missing person, to contact the Investigating Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Dipotso Montsho at 076 834 3531 or your nearest police station.
