Empangeni Man Missing After Job Hunt In Verulam, Family Pleads For Help

The family of 30-year-old Scelo Mbona from Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal, is desperately appealing to the public for information after his sudden disappearance. Mbona, described as a tall, light-complexioned man with black eyes, has been missing since mid-August 2025.

He was last seen leaving his home in Empangeni on 27 June 2025 at around 07:00, telling relatives he was heading to Verulam in search of employment opportunities.

Last Contact With the Empangeni Man Before Disappearance

According to his family, Mbona arrived in Verulam safely and contacted them to confirm that he was actively looking for work.

The final call from him came on 19 August 2025, during which he explained that he was still unemployed and staying with another man. Unfortunately, his family has no information about this individual.

Since that day, all attempts to reach him have failed. His unexplained disappearance has left his loved ones increasingly concerned for his safety.

The Mbona family is urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward. Members of the public are asked to contact Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) at 086 1234 333 if they have any leads that could help locate him.

The family hopes that by sharing his story widely, someone may recognise him or provide crucial details that could bring him home.
