Mailing to Friends of Mary Nkele Ntingane. The mailing says on Monday evening, January 13 MVULA ITUMELENG ARTHUR NTIHGANE did not return to his mother's home (Alexandra Activist Mkele Mary Ntingane) in Alexandra. Itumeleng was last seen by co-workers riding his bicycle home from his job in Isando. The mailing says Mary, who visited Chicago in May-June of 1991 at the invitation of the Chicago-Alexandra Sister Community Project, reported to friends in Chicago that she has searched mortuaries, jails and hospitals as well as nearby rivers and wooded areas; on January 17 he was reported missing to the police, but to this date the police have done nothing to investigate. The mailing says the family suspects a hit squad or the security police are responsible for Itumeleng's disappearance; on Friday Nkele will be speaking by phone on a local radio station (7:00AM WVON) in hopes of raising money to place an advertisement in local paper. The mailing says phone calls can be placed the Wynberg police Station to urge the police to investigate File No. 51 reported on 17th January, 1992; alert the police to the fact that you understand such disappearances often result in deaths and you are concerned for the safety of this young man; the phone number for the station is 011-27-11-440-4874.
