'[The] two suspects were arrested at the Johannesburg magistrate’s court on Friday, while appearing for the unrelated kidnapping case of a Johannesburg businessman,” said Mulamu.

She said the pair had been in court to face charges relating to the kidnapping of a businessman from Newton in Johannesburg in April 2019.For the latest case, the investigations have linked the pair to an incident in November 2018, where a victim was allegedly bundled inside a getaway vehicle before it drove away towards the east rand. A ransom demand of R300,000 was allegedly made to the victim’s family.

Before their latest arrest, the pair were on bail, but after the latest allegation against them they have abandoned bail. The case was postponed to Monday for further investigation.
