Frederick Ngalangobe, a 53-year-old resident of Windhoek, is urging the public to help him locate his missing twin sisters, Febe and Foibe Ngalangobe. According to Ngalangobe, the sisters went missing from the NG church shelter in Windhoek at different times. He claims that the police investigation has been slow, and he has not received timely updates on the case. Ngalangobe is now seeking public assistance in tracing his sisters.
Febe Ngalangobe disappeared from the shelter 10 years ago, and Ngalangobe alleges that she was last seen at the Ariamsvlei border post on her way to South Africa. On the other hand, Foibe went missing from the same shelter in September 2021 and was last seen at Zoo Park in Windhoek. Ngalangobe stated that the police never circulated missing persons' reports for his 61-year-old sisters, which has hindered the investigation.
Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, the police spokesperson, confirmed that the police have been investigating Febe's case since 2017 but have not yielded any positive outcome to date. Shikwambi stated that the police have no record of Foibe being reported missing. However, the police have put up an Interpol yellow notice to indicate that Namibia is looking for Febe Ngalangobe.
An employee at the NG church shelter, Amelia Anderson, stated that she never met Febe during her time at the shelter. However, she confirmed caring for Foibe, who was checked in by Ngalangobe. Alma Myburgh, the NG church administrator, who worked at the shelter for 29 years, revealed that the shelter was established in 2016, making it impossible for Febe to have stayed there in 2015.
Myburgh added that the shelter does not keep records of people who checked in due to the high number of people they accommodate. This has made it challenging for the police to investigate the case. Ngalangobe expressed frustration with the slow pace of the investigation, stating that it has been 10 years and nine months since his sister went missing.
The case has garnered public attention, with many calling for swift action to locate the missing sisters. The police are urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of Febe and Foibe Ngalangobe to come forward and assist in the investigation. The Interpol yellow notice has been circulated globally, hoping to gather more information on Febe's disappearance.
Ngalangobe remains hopeful that his sisters will be found, and he is grateful for the public's support in the matter. The police continue to investigate the case, and the public is urged to provide any information that may lead to the location of the missing twin sisters.
