Search continues for two missing Klerksdorp men
The men, Christiaan van Blerk and Donovan van der Walt are believed to be colleagues, police said.
Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Adéle Myburgh said the men left their work place in a white Toyota Hilux Raider bakkie, registration number KWF254NW, to collect spare parts in Klerksdorp Industria, but never returned.

'He has a scar on the right side of his face (cheek), a tattoo of a cross on his upper arm and a horse shoe tattoo on his upper leg,' said Myburgh.
Van der Walt, 25, is 1.6m tall, slender in build, with brown hair, light blue eyes, a black moustache and a beard.
'He has various tattoos on his body, with a lion tattoo on the left arm and hand,' said Myburgh.
By Tuesday morning, police said there were no updates on the men's disappearance.

Alleged Cape Town baby snatcher Shamiema Jacobs granted bail
The woman accused of kidnapping a nine-day-old baby from a Cape Town shopping mall last month, has been granted R4 000 bail by the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Monday. Shamiema Jacobs, 37, was arrested last month after police found the missing baby at her home. She faces charges of kidnapping and defeating the ends of justice. Standing in the dock, Jacobs was once again covered from head to toe, with her face concealed with a scarf and black mask. Magistrate Gcobani Ndeleni said Jacobs will be released on R4 000 bail, however, she may not go to Mitchells Plain and Strandfontein. 'In the interest of justice, I am of the opinion that the accused should be released on bail, but bail with strict conditions [will apply],' said Ndeleni. He said the Jacobs must report three times a week to the local police station. Jacobs avoided the flashing cameras, keeping her head bowed while in the public gallery, locals could be heard whispering, 'she should be ashamed of herself'.
