A Port Elizabeth family which had been desperately looking for their missing son since July finally received some good news on Sunday.
Romeo MacDonald has been found safely at the Port Elizabeth Railway Station in Govan Mbeki Avenue, said police spokesperson Captain Lariane Jonker.
"A concerned community member added his information and a photo on social media, in the hope that somebody would recognise him and return him home safely," she said.
On 20 July, 21-year-old MacDonald was reported missing after he left his home and never returned. An off-duty police officer, Constable Florence Matoto, deployed at the Cradock police station, saw the message on social media and shared it with the relevant role players.
"MacDonald was then collected at the Erica Safehouse in Port Elizabeth by the investigating officer Detective Sergeant Carmen Steenkamp and safely reunited with his family."
