ActionSA Gauteng premier candidate, Funzi Ngobeni, has relayed details of his harrowing four-hour hijacking and kidnapping ordeal.
Ngobeni and the party’s youth forum chairperson, Hluphi Gafane, were hijacked on Tuesday night by armed men in Centurion.
They were released unharmed four hours later in Benoni, on Gauteng’s East Rand.
Ngobeni said that he was more committed in his fight against crime after being victim to a four-hour hijacking and kidnapping ordeal.
Ngobeni and Gafane were hijacked at gunpoint by three men outside Gafane’s home in Centurion on Tuesday night.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday afternoon during the unveiling of their Gauteng election poster, Ngobeni said that he engaged with one of the gunmen.
“He kept on saying: ‘We don’t want to keep doing what we are doing. We are pushed by poverty, we are pushed by everything happening in this country… corruption.’ This is a thug who was saying these things to us,” Ngubane said.
Ngobeni said that while he was grateful that their lives were spared, he aims to take a firm stance in the fight against criminals holding citizens at ransom.
