Mum, uncle fly out to search for missing Terricia Govender in Nepal

Durban woman is still missing in Nepal floods as mother and uncle fly out to search

The mother and uncle of Terricia Govender, a 33-year-old woman from Durban who is still missing in Nepal, are traveling to the South Asian country to search for her. Terricia last spoke to her family the day before the devastating floods hit. She had just completed a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and her last known location was the Gyirong Immigration Centre, which authorities believe was washed away by the catastrophic floods.

Despite the efforts of authorities, the Nepalese embassy, and rescue teams, Linda Govender, Terricia's mother, and her uncle have not received any information about her whereabouts. Family friend Arvin Maharaj and other relatives accompanied Linda to the airport as she prepares to leave for Nepal to find her daughter. With nine days having passed since the floods struck, family friend Arvin Maharaj expresses hope that Linda will find Terricia.
