According to police spokesperson, Joseph Swartbooi, Frischke arrived in South Africa on 6 February and had been staying at an Airbnb in Pinelands.
His father, Tom Frischke, posted on Facebook that his son’s belongings were still at the Airbnb.
“We miss Nick,” the father posted on Friday. “He is currently on holiday in Cape Town and has lost contact since Wednesday.”
“He also did not come home on Wednesday and Thursday in his accommodation (in Pinelands).”
“All his stuff is still there. Thursday he signed up for a surf course and he never showed up. We don’t know what to do and think that he is in a helpless situation. The mountain guard and local police, as well as the Germans, are informed.”
Swartbooi added that the missing person did not speak English well.
“Pinelands police are seeking the assistance of the public to trace 22-year-old Nick Frischke, a German tourist who arrived in South Africa on Monday 6 February 2023.”
“Reports suggested that Nick was a resident at a local Air Bed and Breakfast in Pinelands.
“On Tuesday, 14 February at around 10am, he left the premises on foot and never returned.”
“At the time of his disappearance, he was last seen wearing blue denim shorts with white takkies and a beige T-shirt and a backpack.”
“He was seen in a local store in the V&A Waterfront.”
“It is imperative to note that Nick does not speak English very well,” Swartbooi said.
