Kidnapping incident in South Africa

People are kidnapped for ransom, sex and human trafficking, abuse, drugs, business debts and feuds, etc.
Linda Mandanda-Zulu, a social worker from Pretoria West, told the magazine that South Africa was in a blindingly explosive situation.
Zulu added that the reality is that there is not much that law enforcement and security forces can do unless they develop a strategy that appeals to people's conscience.
Bianca van Aswegen, criminologist and case officer for the South African Missing Children case, said: SABC Kidnappings for ransom have reportedly increased significantly.
“We have a special unit within the Hawks that directly deals with kidnapping cases such as Ransom, but it is very difficult. There are so many kidnappings reported as an organization that the police are unable to deal with them all. It’s very difficult to do.”
Aswegen advises South Africans to change their habits. Maybe leave the house five minutes earlier or five minutes later and take a different route to work or school.
