GEORGE NEWS & VIDEO - Despite the search for the missing Capetonian Robert Schroder (58) being called off, his family have not given up hope in finding him.
Schroder has been missing for nearly two weeks after he attended the Louvain Burn Music and Arts Festival in the Langkloof near Herold.
The three-day festival started on Friday 9 August. He is 1,7m tall and weighs 80kg and has a full beard.
On Monday after the festival, once all the people who attended had gone home, only his tent was still up.
His sister, Caryn Tamari, flew in from Israel and her brothers, Paul and Selwyn Schroder, came from Australia when they lost touch with their brother over the weekend, and after his tent and possessions (including his old Nokia phone, wallet, medication and glasses) were found at the site.
He was last seen at the festival on the morning of Sunday 11 August, but after that, the trail ran cold.
An international team, Magnus International Search & Rescue, was also brought out to assist in the search.
