Cape Town - The search for a Cape Town artist who went missing two weeks ago has reached a breakthrough thanks to a member of the public who shared a photograph of her allegedly walking around in the Cape Town CBD.
Earlier this week, the Cape Argus shared an appeal from the family of Megan Anderson, also known as Lexi, 26, and National Crime Assist (NCA), to find her after she was last seen in Fish Hoek, leaving her grandmother’s home on December 28.
Anderson’s uncle, Kenneth Anderson, from the UK, called for her safe return home.
The NCAs Sally Steyn said they received fresh leads about her whereabouts following the news article, which went to print on Wednesday.
Two days later, Anderson was seen walking in Cape Town, near a tattoo parlour.
Anderson is understood to be vulnerable and in the company of a Nigerian male, according to the NCA.
“She was last seen on January 8, 2025, at approximately at 2.30pm in Cape Town Central, walking along Long Street towards Foreshore with a Nigerian companion,” said Steyn.
“Megan was last observed near the Slanghouse Tattoo parlour.
“She was wearing a black beanie, a denim jacket, dark clothing, and black sneakers with white soles.
“Her companion is described as a Nigerian male wearing a red beanie and large wrap-around sunglasses.”
