The Citizen reports that an Eskom employee has been found safe following a kidnapping ordeal. The staffer was released this week, at a location south of Johannesburg, after he was kidnapped on 16 March.
Condemning the abduction of the employee, Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the employee was recovering from his ordeal. “The employee’s car was shot at multiple times, and the employee was forcefully taken by seven assailants. He was later released at a location in the south of Johannesburg and had to be admitted to hospital as a result of injuries sustained from being assaulted by the attackers. The matter is now subject to police investigation,” Mokwena said. Eskom did not indicate the motive for the employee’s kidnapping. It also wouldn’t confirm the level of seniority of the employee.
