This comes as Western Cape police have announced a R50‚000 reward for anyone with information on Raymonde Boltman’s whereabouts. The young mother was last seen at a bus stop on her way to work.
“The only thing that is breaking us down is the not knowing. Not knowing what happened that day. That is the worst. If we can get any information on her whereabouts‚ it would save us from the agony that we have been in‚” said her sister‚ Genevieve Boltman.
