Kidnapping gang member arrested
A man linked to the kidnapping of a Limpopo woman was arrested in the north of Pretoria, the Hawks said.
A man linked to a kidnapping syndicate was recently arrested in Wonderpark, Pretoria North after a Limpopo woman was abducted outside her uncle’s house last month.
Anisah Moosa (35) was abducted in Nirvana by three armed men on 15 March. They forced her into the backseat of her silver Audi and drove off. The family then received ransom demands.
Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said one of the kidnappers was arrested in Wonderpark last Thursday following investigations.
“He is in police custody in Limpopo and will appear at the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on 21 April,” he told Rekord on Tuesday.
Various units of the police were involved in the investigation and Moosa safely returned home three days later.

According to the Moosa family spokesperson, Yusuf Abramjee, three police officers were shot and injured before Anisha was freed.
“We thank the Hawks and police for working around the clock. Let us now allow the law to take its course. We remain confident that the remaining gang members will be arrested.”
He added that Moosa was doing well.
