Details of recent alleged kidnapping uncertain

She confirmed to this publication that she had cried at the police station and asked them not to open a case, because she was afraid that the alleged kidnappers would come after her.

It is unclear whether the KaBokweni police will investigate the details regarding a recent alleged kidnapping of a 16-year-old girl of the area. This is apparently because the information supplied by the teenager to the SAPS is sketchy.

“The police couldn’t state the exact place where she had been kept. She alleged she had been kept in an RDP house in Zwelisha, but she was found at an Indian shop in Newskom.

She kept confusing herself and she literally cried, begging the police not to open the case. It is exasperating that teenage girls give us attitude at times, and it becomes difficult to work with them. That girl screamed such that her granny suggested that maybe she had not been kidnapped, but was with her boyfriend and was afraid to return home,” said Capt Shirley Nsimba, spokesperson for the KaBokweni police.

The news of the missing teen started circulating on social media on April 6. She had apparently escaped from her alleged kidnappers two days after. She confirmed to this publication that she had cried at the police station and asked them not to open a case, because she was afraid that the alleged kidnappers would come after her. “He threatened to kill me and my family if I got him arrested. I am even afraid to go to school because I don’t know if ‘his people’ are still following me or not,” she said.
