There is anxiety among family members of the Ghanaian Unicef director Charlotte Nikoi who went missing months ago in South Africa after a decomposed body of a woman was discovered on Table Mountain in Cape Town.
According to News24, Western Cape police confirmed the discovery on Tuesday.
Captain FC van Wyk is quoted by the local media to have said that “A post-mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death and identity. .
In March there were reports of Charlotte Nikoi disappearing on the Table Mountain while hiking with her family.
Her husband Chris had said that he, Nikoi and their daughter went for a walk on the mountain on Human Rights Day, March 21, but Nikoi said she was turning back and were supposed to meet again at an agreed location.
Since then Nikoi has not been located by her family and rescuers.
On Tuesday WSAR spokesperson Johann Marais was quoted by News24 to have said that the organisation was not involved in the finding of the decomposed body near Platteklip Gorge.
“We cannot confirm or deny that the body found is the body of a person for whom we had organised searches earlier this year. Our condolences to the family and friends who have to receive the sad news,” he said.
The family of Nikoi and her friends will now have to wait for tests to be carried out on the decomposed body to determine the identity.
