The families of missing journalist Aserie Sibusiso Ndlovu and his partner, Zodwa Mdhuli, have appealed to the public for assistance in locating them. The couple was reported missing on February 18.

Ndlovu, a National Press Club executive committee member and founder of Capital Live SA radio in Mamelodi East, was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue and white long-sleeve shirt, and Nike sneakers. 

The missing couple’s families addressed the media in Pretoria on Sunday.

It’s been 12 days since Sibusiso Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdhuli were last seen…

Their families have been left shocked and devastated.

Ndlovu reportedly left Denlyn Mall in Mamelodi on the 18th last month. And his partner was also reported missing that same evening. Family members have pleaded for their safe return.

“He is 39 years old, tall and dark in complexion. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue and white long-sleeve shirt, and Nike sneakers. To Sibusiso, if you are watching or listening we want you to know that we love you and doing everything we can to find you,” says one of the family members.

“As a family, we are very hurt. We are very shattered and would like any source of help in locating both Zodwa and Sibusiso because everyday that’s passing it gets harder for all of us,” laments another family member.

Family Representative Vusi Mahlasela describes Ndlovu has a happy soul.

“He was happy and everything and he is not a person who you would think that he is in trouble with anybody. He is always a free spirit. The last time he came to my house – Monday before Tuesday when he disappeared – to come collect a trumpet at my studio to give to somebody but I was not at home but he came there and that the last time they saw him,” says Mahlasela.

Gauteng Police Spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo says investigations are still continuing.

“Police are searching for Mr Sibusiso Ndlovu who was reported missing in Mamelodi. He was last seen leaving his workplace on the 18th of February 2025 at approximately 18h00. Police are appealing to anyone who might have information that can help in the search to please call Sergeant Lekganyane on 082 768 6433 or call the nearest police station,” says Masondo.
