Siphiwo Dzimba who hails from the Manzini region is on the top of the list in police searches as they are actively looking for her.
Chief Police Information and Communication Officer Superintendent Phindile Vilakati said, “The girl left home for school with her two siblings on Tuesday but did not return in the afternoon. We plead with anyone who may know her whereabouts to contact the police.”
In 2018 there was only one case of a 21-year-old woman living with albinism, Nicole Dludlu, who disappeared without trace in eSwatini. However, there were about nine cases of ritual murders that were recorded in the first half of the year.
In neighbouring South Africa a 13-year-old girl living with albinism was kidnapped together with her 15-month-old nephew in Vosman last year.
