A search is underway in Bloemfontein after Grade 11 student Kamogelo Baukudi was kidnapped on Thursday by individuals posing as police officers.
The incident occurred on Vereeniging Drive while Kamogelo was returning home with his guardian. The pair were reportedly stopped by the suspects, who claimed to be law enforcement officials before taking the teenager.
This kidnapping has sent shockwaves through the community, especially during South Africa’s Child Protection Month, a time meant to raise awareness around the safety and welfare of children. The case adds to growing concerns over the rising number of child abductions in the country.
Authorities have launched a manhunt to track down the suspects and locate Kamogelo.
