Three British women from Market Harborough have been reported missing after not returning from South Africa as planned.

Three British women from Market Harborough have been reported missing after they failed to return from a holiday in South Africa. Liz Osborne, her niece Kimberlee Langley and their friend Mel Wright travelled on 22 October and were due to return between 30 October and 1 November, but have had no contact with family and friends since then.

The trio were reported missing on 4 November by Liz's daughter Courtney, who filed a missing person report with police. In an online appeal, Courtney stated: 'My Mum Liz Osborne has been officially declared as a missing person. Along with my cousin Kimberlee Langley and Kim's friend Mel Wright. It is originally believed that they left the country on 22nd October and was due to return around the 30.10.26/01.11.26. Please if anyone has any information at all please contact me or the police as soon as possible.'

It remains unclear whether the women boarded their flight home. Local reports suggest the plane they were meant to be on may have been delayed and diverted via France, though this has not been confirmed. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
