Rustenburg – A 20-month-old boy went missing while playing with other children at a farm in Skeerpoort, near Hartbeespoort Dam, in North West.

Police said the toddler’s mother allegedly left him in the care of the nanny at about 7am on Wednesday, March 29, and went to work. During the day, the nanny allegedly realised that the boy was not with the other children he had been playing with.

At the time of his disappearance, Peter was wearing a maroon hooded tracksuit top.
