A community leader and activist, says cases of kidnapping are often not taken seriously by Mahikeng police.

Thato Molosankwe, says aHis comments come after a 17-year-old girl went missing for a week last month.

While the 17-year-old was confused as to what her friend was up to, she says a group of people at the pub called her and warned her about her friend, saying she works with a gang that kidnaps and traffics people. She says she tried fleeing the scene by walking back home, but the men followed her. “Our child has even stopped going to school. She was told to stay at home for some time to recover from the trauma because she was not coping due to the kidnapping incident because of the Nigerians. At home, we are also living in fear because we keep asking ourselves if they won’t come home and attack us because they told my sister that they know where she stays.”The family says when they reported the matter to the police, the service was appalling.

She says she then pleaded with the police officer to drop them at the police station again to seek further help, and he refused.
