The disappearance of 28-year-old Keshira Maharaj, a young mother from Phoenix, Durban, has left her family and community in turmoil.
With each passing day, their hope is tested as the investigation faces significant hurdles, and unanswered questions continue to mount.
A Mystery Deepens
Keshira was last seen on Sunday 22 December afternoon, leaving her home in an e-hailing car.
However, the ride had been booked off the app, complicating efforts to trace the driver or the vehicle’s movements. Attempts to locate her have been unsuccessful, and her family is pleading for help from the public to bring her home.

Maharaj Family in Crisis
Keshira’s disappearance has had a devastating impact on her family. She is the mother of two children, an 8-year-old and a 2-and-a-half-year-old, both of whom are struggling to understand their mother’s absence. One of her children has reportedly fallen ill, adding to the family’s emotional burden.
Her 63-year-old father, who she supported as the family breadwinner, is unwell and unable to cope with the stress and uncertainty surrounding his daughter’s fate.

Troubling Encounter
In a chilling development, one of Keshira’s previously unreachable phone numbers was briefly answere—but not by her. An unknown man picked up the call, and when questioned, he abruptly hung up. The phone has been switched off ever since.
When the family reported this to authorities, they were told, “We will look into it,” but there have been no updates or follow-ups on this alarming lead.

Uncooperative Witnesses
The investigation has also hit a dead end due to the reluctance of potential witnesses to come forward. Police questioned several e-hailing drivers in the Phoenix area, but their responses were disheartening. “We don’t know anything, and we don’t want to get involved,” they reportedly said.
A Community Called to Action
The family is growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress and is turning to the community for help. They are urging anyone with information to come forward, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.
