The Mubaiwa family were put through the wringer after their two daughters, Vanessa (18) and Kimberly Mubaiwa (21) went missing after heading to the Muizenberg Library to study.
The search has now concluded after the girls were found in Johannesburg.
According to IOL, the father of the girls, Douglas Mbuaiwa, was given information regarding the girls’ whereabouts during a Facebook Live interview with an online blogger.
The interview was conducted to help draw more attention to the search for the missing girls. According to Mabaiwa, they had been attempting to create a platform to help fundraise in order to appoint a private investigator when a viewer during the live broadcast sent through a picture of the girls in Johannesburg.
The girls had reportedly taken a bus to Joburg to visit friends.
“We don’t know why they did this and why they didn’t communicate, but our priority now is to bring them back to Cape Town safely,” Mabaiwa said.
The girls’ mother will reportedly return with them by Friday. The family expressed their deepest gratitude to all those who helped in the search.
