Kabega Park detectives are seeking the community’s assistance in tracing John Rautenbagh (49), a resident at a facility for intellectually challenged adults, who went missing while visiting his friend in Rowallan Park on 1 June.
According to police spokesperson CaSandra Janse Van Rensburg, it is alleged that on 1 June, Rautenbagh was visiting a friend in Pollock Street, Rowallan Park, for the weekend.
