KwaZulu-Natal provincial police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said police received a complaint of a woman who was allegedly kidnapped on Clay Field Drive in Phoenix on Monday. “A few moments later, her husband received a phone call from her, reporting that she was kidnapped and [in which she] pleaded with him to deposit an undisclosed amount of money for her release. A few moments later, the husband received another call from a man who threatened to hurt the woman if the money was not paid,” said Netshiunda.
