On Tuesday evening, 17 June 2025, Simthande was abducted aboard a Bolt ride in the Umbilo area of Durban. One African male was driving the car when he boarded. Realising that the car was taking a strange route, he asked the driver to make a U-turn. READ MORE HERE

“That’s when the driver got agitated and eventually stopped the car. Two other African males approached the car and one of them pointed a gun at Simthande. The other one blindfolded him, tied his hands and they drove with him to an unknown location.
There, they accessed his phone, cleaned his bank account of every cent he had. Upon realising who he was, they went on to make phone calls to his family members, colleagues and friends and demanded a ransom. When they got the money, they stripped him off his clothes and took pictures and videos of him while forcing him to perform despicable acts.

“In the early hours of Wednesday morning, they asked him to confirm his residential address and requested a ride for him. They instructed him not to do or say anything stupid, or they were going to come after him and his family. We can confirm that the matter was reported to the police and Simthande remains in a safe place where he is surrounded by family and friends.
