 Friday 8 May 2026

#ResponsibleSocialMediaUse

The Provincial Commissioner of Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has noted with concern the circulation of false and misleading information on various social media platforms claiming that a two-year-old Omphile Sethole has been found deceased.

She wishes to state that this information is untrue and the baby girl has not been found and the search for the missing toddler is ongoing.

Omphile disappeared from her home in Ga-Mabuela village in the early hours of Saturday 02 May 2026. Tinmyne Police opened cases of housebreaking at residential premises and kidnapping after the child’s 52 year-old grandmother discovered her missing at about 06:00 with an open window in the room. At the time of her disappearance, Omphile was wearing a pink jersey and black tights.

Lieutenant General Hadebe has strongly condemned the spread of misinformation and cautioned that it causes unnecessary distress to the family and undermines ongoing police efforts.

“The sharing of false reports on social media is not only irresponsible but also criminal. It creates panic and diverts public attention from the real facts. I urge all members of the public to refrain from posting or sharing unverified information about this sensitive case. Our team is working tirelessly to unmask this suspect of this senseless crime targeting our children” she said.

Police appeal to the public to continue assisting with the search and providing credible information that can lead to the safe return of Omphile to her family.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Omphile Sethole is urgently requested to contact the Investigating Officer Sergeant Moshe Mashaba on 082 319 9448 or #CrimeStop number on 08600 10111 or nearest police station or #MySAPSApp.
