The latest news from South Africa is still the same. There is no trace of Uwe Gemballa.
As I previously posted, time is not your friend when you are missing or kidnapped. A relatively small number of victims are found alive after this much time.
All we can do is continue to pray for his safe return.

Still no trace of Uwe Gemballa
By Karl-Ludwig Giinsche, Cape Town, last updated 01/03/2010 at 10:47
"Leonberg / Johannesburg - the house looks almost deserted. High walls prevent any view of the building. Nothing stirs. Only a dog barks. Otherwise, no sound penetrates to the outside. No one opens. It is the luxury property of dazzling Czechs Radovan Krejcir in Johannesburg. Suddenly, a Porsche convertible drives up, silver-metallic. At the wheel of a man with a beard, nearly full one. But it is not yet Krejcir Uwe Gemballa, who had taken the day he arrived in South Africa with the Czechs and has since disappeared as dubious as his contact man. The Porsche driver disappears without a word behind the high walls of the property. A short time later, opens the door again electrically, the Porsche out shoots and vanishes with roaring engine. Exactly three weeks Uwe Gemballa has now disappeared.
The hope of finding him alive fade away with each passing day, say informed sources in Johannesburg. Since his wife on 9 Phoned February and asked for a large sum of money lacking any sign of life from him. "That speaks to the abduction version," says a security expert familiar with the case. "Otherwise, the kidnappers had already made contact and negotiations with them would not have such a long time may pass unnoticed by the public under the blanket."
Key figure Radovan Krejcir
There remains the possibility that the Leonberger act too often economic difficulties entrepreneurs go underground in South Africa and a new identity would increase. The key figure appears to be Radovan Krejcir, who had for this information in South Africa's underworld connections and could probably even get false papers. It was all a question of money. "But this man is highly dangerous," says the security expert from the Stuttgarter Nachrichten. "Anyone who enters an appearance with him, you must first have a lot of money and expect the second to everything."
Krejcir has been convicted in absentia in his native Czech Republic for six and a half years in prison for tax fraud. Moreover, wanted for him, because he will be involved in the murder of a Czech customs officials.
In South Africa, appear again and again in German
But where is Uwe Gemballa? Always dive in South Africa again in German, either because they will be found in their homeland for whatever reasons, either because they want to start with a new identity, a new life. Usually they travel - like Gemballa - one with a normal tourist visa. Exact figures do not exist. In connection with the German who fled to South Africa Investment fraudster Jurgen Harksen the South African authorities gave 2002, however, aware that they searched for "approximately 1000 to 1500" Germans who had indeed left the country but once again. "Our diplomatic missions in Germany expected a few hundred, but it turned out that there are more than a thousand," said the former Director General of Immigration, Billy Masetlha. The South African authorities suspected that there was even a kind of syndicate, which submerged Europeans against large sums of money on a new identity restyle. During the investigation of 2002 campaign, according to the authorities identified about a dozen German illegal immigrants and deported. The case of Jurgen Harksen, however, is not transferable to Uwe Gemballa. When the missing Leonberger businessman who the authorities are still groping in the dark."

I guess this is the end of the Gemballa Porsches... time to do a retrospective of his creations as tribute to a great tuner...
