ActionSA Gauteng premier candidate Funzi Ngobeni and the party’s youth forum chairperson Hluphi Gafane have been kidnapped.
The pair were taken in a suspected hijacking, outside Gafane’s home in Centurion by armed men on Wednesday night.
Party leader Herman Mashaba told the publication that Ngobeni was visiting Gafane when the gunmen approached.
Ngobeni and Gafane were ordered by gunmen to get into the back of Ngobeni’s vehicle.
Mashaba spoke to the publication shortly after the news broke last night.
“Funzi had gone to fetch something from Hluphi’s house. As they were getting out, I don’t know how many people came but these guys came with guns, put them at the back of Funzi’s car, and drove away with them.”
Mashaba refused to speculate whether the incident was politically motivated or merely criminality.
“You know in this country, because of the high levels of crime, I wouldn’t want to speculate – I don’t think it will be fair for me to speculate. But one thing for sure is that they’ve been hijacked or kidnapped with guns.”
A case of kidnapping was opened by Ngobeni’s wife at Olievenhoutbosch Police Station in Centurion.
