‘I will not give up hope’: Durban mother heads to Nepal to find missing daughter

Isipingo Beach resident Linda Govender will journey to Nepal on Thursday in search of her missing daughter, Terricia, who vanished during a pilgrimage. Flash floods hit the region on Wednesday, leaving six South Africans unaccounted for. Terricia, 33, was among six reported missing, including two elderly couples and a 43-year-old woman.

Terricia was part of the Isha Foundation's Mount Kailash Yatra pilgrimage, which was returning from Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar when the floods struck. Her mother, Linda, who warned of impending flooding, is awaiting updates on Terricia's whereabouts and has appealed for assistance in finding her. Family members are also reaching out to authorities and relief organizations for help.
