Just as one kidnapping drama came to an end this week, Nelson Mandela Bay police were faced with yet another abduction when a Chinese national was snatched from outside his workplace in Kariega on Wednesday.
Having been snatched outside a business in North End, her face covered with a jacket, and bundled into the back of an Audi, a businesswoman has described the torment she experienced for 24 hours before miraculously escaping her abductors in Motherwell.
“People survive by grace.”This comment, posted on the HeraldLIVE Facebook page earlier this week, sums up a sentiment shared by many Nelson Mandela Bay residents.
A Gqeberha woman sat and sobbed inconsolably at the Swartkops police station on Wednesday afternoon as officers tried to help her to negotiate ransom demands with her husband’s abductors.
