Cikwazi Manzini, an African female estimated to be in her late thirties, is currently at Heidedal Police Station in Mangaung Metro – Free State Province.
According to Cikwazi, she hitchhiked from her parents’ home in Khayemnandi – Despatch on Monday 2 June 2025 and reached Bloemfontein midweek. Cikwazi then slept on Pelonomi Hospital premises and was brought to Heidedal Police Station yesterday, Friday 6 June 2025. The police at Heidedal started searching for Cikwazi Manzini relatives, making calls to police stations in Qheberha without any success.
Cikwazi alleges that she lived with her mother, Landiwe and her sister, Anelisa in Khayemnandi near Despatch in Eastern Cape. Cikwazi was on her way to Jeppestown in Gauteng Province, where she left her partner, Ocean Sibanda with their two kids in 2019. Cikwazi seems to suffer from mental illness as she can not even tell the police her exact age.
Any member of the public in Khayemnandi Depatch or Jeppestown who might help to reunite Cikwazi with Manzini or Sibanda families is requested to contact Heidedal Police Station at 051 411 2896 or 071 606 5715/ 061 501 8007.
