Foreign business owners easy kidnapping targets as some are undocumented - expert

CAPE TOWN - A security expert thinks one of the reasons kidnappers target foreign business owners or employees in South Africa is that they know that some of them are here illegally.In Cape Town, a foreign national shop assistant was kidnapped in Kuils River on Wednesday, apparently for a R2 million ransom.

A security expert at the Institute for Security Studies, Willem Els said in most cases, the kidnappings are unreported because some victims are undocumented migrants who fear being exposed.
