• Office calls on public to ensure information of missing people included in list before 15 March

The Office of Missing Persons (OMP) has called on the public to help it verify the provisional list of missing or disappeared persons before 15 March. 

The OMP, in a public notice, has requested families of the missing and disappeared to contact the OMP either by calling 011 2056 504 or 011 2667 108, or by visiting its Head Office or Regional Offices on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on or before 15 March to ensure that the information concerning their missing or disappeared loved ones is included in the provisional list.

It also said that if information regarding a missing person or disappeared person does not appear on the list or is inaccurate, family members are kindly requested to assist the OMP in updating such information. If any other information is available that could assist the OMP in its verification process, members of the public are kindly requested to share the information with the OMP on or before 15 March. This provisional list of persons reported as missing or disappeared will be subject to a process of verification. The OMP is also engaged in collecting data from other sources, including previous Presidential Commissions of Inquiry, to develop a comprehensive list of missing and disappeared persons.
