Tinmyne Police in Limpopo have launched a major search operation after a 2-year-old girl, Omphile Sethole, was allegedly kidnapped from her home in Ga-Mabuela village during the early hours of Saturday, 02 May 2026.
According to police, the child’s 52-year-old grandmother woke up at around 02:00 to go to the bathroom and took Omphile with her before returning to bed.

My daughter married a Korean man when she was 21. She hasn't been home for twelve years, but every year, she sends $100,000. This Christmas, I decided to visit her in secret. When I opened the door to her house… I froze in my tracks.
I’ll never forget that morning, holding

Lephalale police are requesting public assistance in tracing a 37-year-old female, Cynthia Kgwete believed to be able to assist in solving a fraud case.
It is alleged that on Monday, 02 February 2026, Nedbank opened a fraud case at Lephalale police station for investigation.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly posed as a client and applied for vehicle finance to purchase a Ford Ranger Double Cab.
During the application process, the suspect submitted a false documentation and further misrepresented her employment and income details to secure approval from the bank.
The application was approved, and the bakkie was released to the suspect.
It was also later discovered that a tracking device fitted to the vehicle was removed shortly after it left the dealership.
No instalments were paid to the bank and upon further investigation, the bank discovered it had been defrauded by the 37-year-old and reported the matter to the police.
A case of fraud was registered, and investigations revealed that the suspect provided a false working address and residential address in Gauteng Province.
