East London police spokeswoman Warrant Officer Hazel Mqala said the seven had not contacted their families after they were reported missing.
“We appeal to the communities to assist us find these missing people. Since they’ve been reported missing their families are yet to report that they’ve returned home alive or otherwise,” said Mqala.

Mdantsane police spokesman Captain Nkosikho Mzuku said there had been no reports of Tshona’s whereabouts.
Tshona is a well-known businessman who, during apartheid, turned his mechanic’s workshop backyard by day into a military base by night.
On the day of his disappearance, Tshona attended a school governing body meeting at Isibane Primary School, where he serves as chairman.
At the same time, Mzuku said the government mortuary in Mdantsane was calling for the families of 10 deceased people to come forward to identify them.
“Some of the corpses have been here with the state government mortuary since 2014 and have not yet been identified,” said Mzuku.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Mdantsane Cluster Detective coordinator Colonel Lee-Ann Beard at 082 779 7140 and East London station’s Sergeant Nopasika Mbuli on 043 722 5555. —
