Details of Namhla’s Disappearance
The family of Namhla Sipuka, a 38-year-old woman originally from Eluxolweni in East London, is desperately seeking help from the public to locate her. Namhla, who goes by the name “Ciara” in Johannesburg, was last heard from in 2023 after an anonymous message alerted her relatives that she had been found injured and was reportedly taken to a hospital in Benoni, Gauteng. Since then, there has been no further contact or update about her condition or whereabouts.
Her family only started actively searching this year, after realizing she missed all their birthdays—something she never used to do.

Communication Challenges and History
Namhla’s communication with her family was often through changing phone numbers, making it difficult to keep consistent contact. She never stayed in one place for long and was unfortunately involved in unsafe environments.
The last known communication from her came from a stranger, who reached out asking if anyone in the family knew her. That person claimed Namhla had been taken to a hospital in Benoni after being found injured. No hospital records have been confirmed, and no follow-up message was received.
