UPDATE: Four have been found

The four men who were kidnapped last night, have been found in Walkerville where they had been dropped off in the bush.

Jakes Saber confirmed to Ridge Times that his son, Yusuf, and Jameel Salley, Ahmed Dhorat and Ziyaad Salley are well and in good spirits.

According to information received from several groups, the sons of four prominent businessmen from Trichardt were hijacked and kidnapped on the R546 road between Standerton and Trichardt last night at around 22:30.

The four men allegedly went to Standerton to play padel tennis and the incident happened on their way home.

Jameel Salley, Yusuf Saber, Ahmed Dhorat and Ziyaad Salley were travelling in a white Volkswagen Tiguan with the registration number JXT 557 MP.

Large sums of money were drawn from their bank accounts. It is alleged that the signal of their cell phones was lost near Vosloorus.

The families of the kidnapped men are at this stage unavailable for comment, but various emergency groups have sent out requests on social media platforms to be on the lookout for the men.

Anyone with information can contact their nearest police station or Community Policing Forum.
