Charl Pienaar – Loretta is Looking for You

6 May 2011 By Alan Straton

Hello,

Could you please assist me to try and find family? (ED: Sure Loretta, go ahead!)

I am looking for my nephew, Charl Pienaar. I have no idea where he and his family live presently, but his other aunt and her husband used to live in Woodlands, Port Elizabeth and they are Clive and Shirley Hendricks (I believe that is the surname) Clive is originally from England.

I left South Africa 10 years ago (Through marriage I am a Spanish citizen, but have been working a lot in England.) and have been searching for Charl ever since. His father, my late brother, his mom and his only brother died on the road some years ago and I feel so sad that I can’t get in touch with Charl and his family.

Please pardon me for being a bother. (ED: No bother at all Loretta – glad to try and help)

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Loretta Landi

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
