Six months of agony: Family still searches for missing Try Ndiweni
BY NOKUTHABA DLAMINI
It’s been six long and agonizing months since Try Ndiweni, a 38-year-old man from Bulawayo and Bubi district, vanished into thin air. His family, particularly his mother, Catherine, is still grappling with the uncertainty of his disappearance.
“Life has never been the same since he left,”his mother said, her voice laced with emotion. “I struggle to eat, and I find myself constantly wondering what happened to him.”
Try’s disappearance on August 20 last year has left his family with more questions than answers. According to his mother, Try didn’t take much with him when he left. His brown jacket and fleece are still at home, and she’s not even sure what he was wearing on the day he vanished.

However, she revealed that Try did take some important documents with him, including his academic certificates, national identity card, and possibly his passport. He also took his church card, a small, red pocket-sized card.
What’s even more worrying for his mother is that Try has been struggling with mental health challenges since 2005. He has been seeing psychiatrists and has been on medication to manage his condition. However, she fears that Try may have stopped taking his medication, which could have contributed to his disappearance for this long.
“I’m worried sick about his well-being,” she said. “He’s been on medication for years, and if he’s not taking it, it could be disastrous.”
The family’s efforts to locate Try have been unsuccessful so far. His mother is holding on to hope, praying that her son will return home safely.
As the days turn into weeks, and the weeks into months, her anxiety grows. She’s desperate for any information that can lead her to Try.
“I just want to know what happened to my son since he left on that night,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion. “I want him to come home safely, that is my prayer.”
The search for Try Ndiweni continues, and his family remains hopeful that he will be found soon.
If you have any information about Try’s whereabouts, please contact his mother, Catherine, at [+263 71 315 6336].
