The Democratic Alliance remains deeply distressed at the missing of Petro Nel, our Deputy Leader in North West.

Search teams in Nepal have resumed searching this morning for Nel's light aircraft. We await news from Nepal.

Together with DA Leader Mmusi Maimane, I will hold a vigil and prayer this afternoon for the safe return of Petro Nel.

Petro is and has been a pillar of the DA in the North West, and our only thoughts now are for her safe return.

Our most sincere thoughts are with her family.
