CAPE TOWN - April 30 marks two years since two-month-old Kai-isha Meniers was snatched from her pram outside a supermarket in Bishop Lavis and there's still no sign of the little girl or her kidnapper.

Sadly, it's not only the family searching a missing child and on Friday it will be nine years since Shasha Lee November disappeared from her Hanover Park home.

In the most recent missing child case to have rocked the province, the search continues for 6-year-old Joshlin Smith, who disappeared from her Saldanha Bay home in February.

Over the past two years, detectives have followed up on several leads to find two-month-old Kai-isha Meniers but, unfortunately, they've all led to dead ends.

Days after the abduction on 30 April 2022, police released CCTV screenshots showing a woman with long hair, dressed in a black and white spotted top and striped pants, carrying a baby wrapped in a pink blanket.

At the time, Francis Meniers told Eyewitness News that the day her baby disappeared was the first time she had seen the suspect, who had approached her at the Bishop Lavis Shopping Centre earlier that day.

Police on Monday confirmed a case of kidnapping was still under investigation by the Bishop Lavis Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit.
