Officials are looking for the relatives of a deceased Ventersburg farm worker known as Tholani.

On 8 July the Ventersburg police were informed about an unknown man who was working at the Wonderhauwel farm in Ventersburg.

According to farm owner Frans Erasmus and other farm workers, Tholani had been sick for a long time. He was apparently found dead in his room.
