The safety problems are reinforced in Bloemfontein after the alleged kidnapping of the 19-year-old Kamogelo Baukudi. Baukudi was reportedly abducted by two men who spend a Toyota Hilux Bakkie who claims to be police officers.
Spokesperson for the Free State Police Thabo Covane says that the driver of Baukudi, Daniel Matebatso, explained that after he had taken him from Martie du Plessis High School, a cup of two occupants brought to a stop. The driver told him that the car he was driving was suspected of supplying drugs.
“It was reported that the bakkie of the suspects was equipped with blue lights on the grill and what looked like a police radio inside. Matebatso claims that a truck went between the car he drove and the Bakkie, and he never saw the suspects of both Matebats. Under the bridge on Ferrera Road, explains Covane.
The police have one Search Taken team for Baukudi and his alleged kidnappers. His disappearance comes after the brutal murder of Olorato Mongale, originally from Bloemfontein, met her murderers in a Freestate shopping center and was killed in Johannesburg.
The spokesperson for the Freedom of the Ministry of Education, Howard Ndaba, has expressed shock after the incident and says that they offer the necessary psychosocial support to students and teachers.
“We are also worried and we would like to rely on the members of the public to help us, to help the police and the family, so that we bring this boys home and back to school. We will ensure that we work with all stakeholders to safely return Bukudi.”
The provincial secretary of the economic freedom fighters, Bosanku Msimanga, has called on the community of Bloemfontein to compete against crime.
“It shows that criminal syndicates decided to turn this place into their permanent place of residence. So we have to improve our game both community and the police, ensure that we are vigilant and help each other while we discuss this type of incident and ensure that Bloemfontein becomes a safer place to stay.”
