Ranga Mavuso's mother was only found hours after the hijacking.
The singer announced the horrifying situation on his Twitter account.
“If anyone witnessed the hijacking in the Mondeor area yesterday afternoon, please DM me. My mother and her car were last seen in the Power Park area around 7pm last night. ” he wrote, pleading for help.
Langa turned to Tracker SA for help, but the response was disappointing.
“Tonight @Tracker_SA let my family down. I can't even explain my disappointment in their service and lack of care from their staff. I'm angry and frustrated. I don't know where my mom is. How do I sleep? How do I close my eyes?”
On Wednesday, the singer updated worried fans and supporters that her mother had been found.
“Thank you Lord. After a sleepless night, I found her in the wild without any help from @Tracker_SA. Thank you for all your prayers, awareness, support and calls. Thank you.”
Ranga further said that her mother was hijacked and assaulted.
“South Africa. My mother was hijacked, taken against her will, assaulted and her car, cell phone and laptop abandoned in an unknown location. When we called for help, this… “This is the response we got: Paid protection services have failed. We must respond to this now,” he wrote.
“God has been kind to us. I would never wish that kind of experience on anyone. Siyabonga Imitandazo.”
