The businessman was fetched from OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday night to conclude a deal, said Captain Lungelo Dlamini. A "bogus businessman" drove him to a house in Kensington, where he was tied up and blindfolded. They demanded a ransom from the family, who then contacted the provincial investigation unit. Within a few hours of his arrival and kidnapping, police officers swooped on the house and took the men into custody. "The Provincial Investigation Unit might link these suspects to other cases under investigation where business people are robbed while en route to their destinations from the OR Tambo International Airport."
