Portuguese businessman José Fernandes still missing as family’s agony deepens [VIDEO]

While declining to disclose information that could compromise the investigation or Fernandes’ safety, those close to the family have appealed directly to members of the public with information.

His family is living through every hour without knowing where he is, what condition he is in, or whether somebody out there has information that could bring him home.

The disappearance of a well-known Germiston businessman has left his family, friends and the wider Portuguese community desperately searching for answers more than a week after he was allegedly kidnapped in broad daylight.
