An Eastern Cape teenager who had been missing for nine days has been found alive.
Police spokesperson, Namhla Mdleleni, says 19-year-old Siphesande Nogela was found on Friday morning near Uitsig Farm about 5 km outside the Queenstown area.
She says Nogela, a learner at Royal Capital Academy, was reported missing by his parents and was last seen on the 14th of March going to school.
Mdleleni says he was found unconscious in some bushes on the farm and taken to a hospital for treatment.
She says he was still dressed in his school uniform and had no visible injuries to his body.
The investigation continues.
