A 12-year-old Durban boy who was reported missing two weeks ago has been found.
Bohlale Mpeke from Glenmore left home after a disagreement with his parents about his school work.
Non-Profit Organisation, Access to Justice, which was helping the Mpeke family says Bohlale was traced him to a Shelter in Umbilo in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
His mother, Salamina Mpeke says they are overjoyed that he is back safe.
"It's a sense of relief. We are excited that he is back home. The thought of not having our son back really hit us. When we saw him - it was a dream come true. Luckily for us, someone found him and then took him to a shelter. We were worried about the weather. Fortunately for us, he landed in good hands," he said.
