sapa Wednesday 21 Aug 2013. A Burgersfort, Limpopo woman was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the kidnapping of a ten-year-old boy from his home located near the Vergelegen squatter camp, said the SAPS. The youth was kidnapped around 16h00 near his home by a man 'asking for directions,' said colonel Ronel Otto.
A few hours later his parents received an SMS demanding R10,000 for his safe return. The parents notified the police, and an arrangement was made to pay the money into an account provided by the kidnapper. "The SAPS arrested the woman at a cash-point in Burgersfort when she tried to withdraw the money,' said Otto.
The youngster was found unarmed near the cash point. The SAPS are seeking a second kidnapper.
