Police in KwaZulu Natal have rescued a woman who was kidnapped together with seven others from their home at Chappies Section, Mandeville area in Sundumbili by unknown men in the early hours of Friday morning, 15 May 2026.

The seven victims were reportedly released at KwaDabeka a little later, however the woman, who recently received her Road Accident Fund (RAF) payout, was taken to an unknown location.

The Provincial Tracking Team was activated and officers took no time to locate one of the two vehicles which were used in the kidnapping, and arrested three suspects. Investigations led police to Phoenix where the victim, who is in her mid to late 30s, was found unharmed.

Police are appealing to RAF beneficiaries not to disclose their payouts or brag about the money. The suspects attempted several transactions to no avail, however they managed to make purchases amounting to R30 000.

The arrested suspects will appear in court soon. The search is on for more possible suspects.

Section 46 of the South African Police Service Act, Act No. 68 of 1995, prohibits a police officer from publicly displaying or expressing support for or associating himself or herself with a political party, hold any post or office in a political party, wear any insignia or identification mark in respect of a political party, or in any other manner further or prejudice party-political interest.

In respect of the above, the Provincial Commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has instructed the District Commissioner of King Cetshwayo to immediately withdraw a police Constable from the Ntambanana police station from all operations pending investigation into his alleged involvement in politics.

The Constable in question has been seen wearing regalia of a political party, and involving himself in active political activities of the political party. Police officers are expected to be apolitical and neutral at all times. Any association with a political party by a police officer has the potential of bringing the name of the organisation into disrepute.

The Provincial Commissioner will also be in contact with PSIRA to investigate allegations that the same Constable owns a security company which does VIP Protection services among other security duties. No police officer is allowed to be involved in security, alcohol or taxi industries. Community members are urged to report all police officers who involve themselves in politics and doggy businesses that compromises the integrity of the South African Police Service.
