Action Society has been mandated by the family of the German tourist Nick Frischke, who went missing in February 2023 in Cape Town, to look into the matter in terms of case oversight and private investigation.
The 22-year-old went missing on Valentine’s Day while he was on a hike in Hout Bay. His family alerted authorities when they could not reach him on his cellphone. The police have arrested five men linked to the disappearance of Frischke, and they have appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court. The group had admitted to robbing the traveller while he was hiking.
Igshaan Fisher, Jason Abrahams, Vanroy Petersen, Carlo Guenantin and Melvin Guenantin have been charged with aggravated robbery after items belonging to the missing Frischke were found in their possession.
Action Society’s Kaylynn Palm said the organisation would look into the matter – as the family has growing concerns. “We will do all we can to assist in this case. The family is in another country and is not getting frequent updates which worries them. We will keep a close eye on this matter, monitor it and utilise our resources.”
The case is back in court on 22 June for further police investigation.
