SOUTH AFRICA Man became a victim of an extortionist South African gang. They kidnapped him and filmed a terrifying video of him being tortured and humiliated. This video was sent to his family members to stir emotions and accelerate the sending of the ransom.
The kidnapping situation in South Africa has become truly alarming in recent years. Local police record several hundred to thousands of kidnapping cases every month. These are primarily targeted at wealthy entrepreneurs for ransom. However, cases of so-called ‘express kidnapping’ are also frequent – the victim is briefly deprived of personal liberty and forced to reveal credit card PINs.
