Two Women Kidnap and Assault E-Hailing Driver in SA
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, a 25-year-old e-hailing driver was kidnapped by a group of five suspects, including two women aged 23 and 34, and three men aged 16, 42, and 48, in Steenberg. After abducting him, the suspects contacted the victim's brother, demanding R4,000 for his release.
The police received a tip-off and utilized a GPS tracker fitted to the victim's vehicle to locate him on Southampton Road in Heathfield, where they successfully rescued him. During his captivity, both female suspects sexually assaulted the victim.
The victim had met one of the female suspects through his e-hailing work the previous week, and they had exchanged contact information. All five suspects were arrested at the scene and are expected to appear before the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Monday, September 14, 2026, facing charges related to kidnapping and sexual assault.
