Actor is still missing
THE whereabouts of actor Pranesh Maharaj remains unknown.
Maharaj, 48, of Somerset Park, uMhlanga, left his home on February 7. He was travelling in a Hyundai i10.
Dawn Gounden, a forensic consultant working with missing persons and the family spokesperson, said Maharaj left home at 6.15am to buy cigarettes from a nearby garage but did not return.
Gounden and her team checked the garage’s CCTV footage but there was no record of him. She said Maharaj’s sister reported him missing at the Durban North SAPS.
A few days after his disappearance, police in the Eastern Cape found his vehicle in Bisho. The tyres were stripped.
Gounden said Maharaj’s family and friends were concerned about his safety.
“They are praying for his return. It has been a difficult couple of weeks.”
Maharaj was wearing black chino pants, a blue T-shirt and blue long-sleeve shirt.
Captain Nqobile Gwala, a provincial police spokesperson, confirmed that Maharaj was still missing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Gounden at 074 712 5855.
