Johannesburg - Police are looking for a 21-year-old man who may have abducted a 16-year-old Gauteng girl,
Superintendent Eugene Opperman said Sharnice Potgieter was last seen on November 21, 2003 at about 12.30 near her school in Crystal Park, near Benoni on the East Rand.
She was allegedly picked up by her boyfriend George Clarke Ehlers.
"In terms of South African law Sharnice is still a minor and she may therefore not be removed from her parents' care without their explicit permission. This effectively means that she had been abducted," said Opperman.
The couple were last reported to have been seen at the Durban beach front.
