ActionSA confirms the welcome news of the retrieval of Gauteng Premier Candidate, Funzi Ngobeni, and Youth Forum Chairperson, Hluphi Gafane, at approximately 22:45 this evening.
It is confirmed that these ActionSA leaders were hijacked in Olivenhoutbosch at approximately19:00 this evening and held by the hijackers, eventually being located in the Benoni area.
ActionSA is pleased to report that both Ngobeni and Gafane are unharmed but undoubtedly shaken from the experience.
ActionSA expresses its profound gratitude to members of SAPS who were incredibly responsive and deeply humbled by the overwhelming outpouring of support and concern from South Africans.
It is requested that Ngobeni and Gafane be afforded the space to recover from their ordeal with their families before a more substantive briefing of these events can be provided tomorrow.
Issued by ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont
