South Africans have been asked to stand in unity and pray for the kidnapped Moti brothers from Polokwane, Limpopo, with no ransom or demands having being received from their kidnappers.
Moti family lawyer Philip Smit, who maintains the kidnapping was ransom-motivated, told EWN: “The family is in distress and under extreme traumatic stress for their four sons.”
“We have received hundreds of phone calls. We just need the boys back. That is all we are praying for,” Smit said. “Of course there is always the risk that matters become almost hot ... They might choose to abandon the children somewhere or abandon their plans to ask for a ransom. But it was very well planned and the chances are that they will still . We are just speculating.”
Seven heavily armed men approached the Motis’ vehicle and fired shots. The Moti children were forced out of their parents’ BMW and into another getaway vehicle, a Toyota Fortuner. Cellphones belonging to the boys were found in Flora Park.
