She was dressed in a black top and black pants. “She is approximately 1.6 metres tall, and she has a piercing on her nose. She is also light in complexion,” he said.
Hillary, according to Mdhluli, lives in the Kwamagugu area outside of Nelspruit. “The victim was with a three-year-old girl during her disappearance. Surprisingly, the child was found, but Hillary was nowhere to be found.
“She was reported missing by her family on Saturday, 30 April 2022. Hillary has not returned home since then,” said Mdhluli.
Meanwhile, EFF national spokesperson Sinawo Thambo stated that, given South Africa’s unprecedented levels of violence against women and children, many are now speculating about the worst-case scenario.
Thambo stated that Hillary’s disappearance has caused untold pain to the Gardee family and tremendous sadness ‘to all of them as Commissar Gardee’s comrades.’
“Considering the high levels of violence against women and children in this country, the continued disappearance of Hillary is worrying and leads us all to speculate the worst.

All ground forces of the EFF in Mpumalanga must lend a helping hand in the search to ensure that she is found alive, unharmed and well,” Thambo said.
