Local businessman, Kamlesh Singh, remains missing, with no trace since the kidnapping incident at Corridor Hill.

Singh reportedly fell victim to a kidnapping on Wednesday, January 10.

According to Provincial Police Spokesperson Colonel Donald Mdhluli, Singh received a call on Tuesday, January 9, about an alleged electrical fault at his business.

“The call that Singh received was from an unknown person who identified himself as a technician from Emalahleni Municipality assigned to check an electrical fault at his business,” said Mdhluli.

Singh responded to the so-called ‘appointment’ by arriving at the business site the following morning.

Around 08:20, three suspects in a grey Ford Kuga with cloned registration numbers approached Singh.

Two armed men, their faces concealed with balaclavas, forced Singh into the vehicle, which then headed towards Ga-Nala, leaving his car behind.
