The search for 12-year-old Kaylee Hulme, who was swept away by a strong current while swimming in a river near Oranjemund, has entered its third week with no sign of the missing child. Police confirmed on Wednesday that efforts to locate her are ongoing, as her family and community continue to hold onto hope.
Police spokesperson Kauna Shikwambi said authorities are still actively searching for Kaylee, who disappeared on 7 January at around 11h00. She was swimming in the river when she was suddenly caught by a powerful current and pulled away. Her brother was nearby at the time, and her father was fishing close to the riverbank, but neither was able to reach her before she vanished.
