Shiraaz Mohamed’s kidnappers demand ransom

Earlier this week, a video was released showing him alive and pleading with the organisation and President Cyril Ramaphosa to secure his release.Gift of the Givers’s founder Dr Imtiaz Sooliman explains: “They said the request is one-point-five-million US dollars. We said that figure is quite ridiculous.

We explained that Shiraaz does not belong to any corporate company that could assist in the payment of that kind of money. The family doesn’t have much means. They don’t have the money and I said the South Africa government certainly will not pay, so they need to rethink. They then told us, we need to go and think about our options and what we’re gonna do. They called back and asked what would you like to do? So we said you price is too high.
