Last year November, the story made headlines when a schoolgirl was taken from her school in Mayfair, Johannesburg. And according to the police, the girl has been found.
Not much details known as of yet
On Wednesday morning, police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Netshiunda, confirmed with News24 that the 11-year-old girl has been found.
That is, however, all that is known for now as Netshiunda did not clarify when and where the child was found. He explained that police were still processing information and that a comprehensive statement would be released once they had finished.
The Mayfair girl was targeted
When the schoolgirl was kidnapped in November 2021, she was waiting in line outside her Mayfair school to be screened for Covid-19. But it seemed that she was targeted as her kidnappers called her by her name.
And when she turned around in response, she was met with two men who were armed with AK47’s.
The child’s mother was on the scene when it happened however she panicked and immediately went home. It was later reported that when she arrived at home, she received a phone call from the kidnappers, telling her not to contact the police or media. However, by then the story had already become known.
