Family of kidnapped Westville mum addresses rumours
The family of Sandra Moonsamy, who is thought to have been kidnapped in Pinetown last month, addresses a number of rumours that have been circulating on social media.
IT has been over two weeks since Westville mum and businesswoman, Sandra Moonsamy was grabbed in a seemingly professional kidnapping, while driving home on Stapleton Road, Pinetown.
Her whereabouts remain unknown.
Shortly after the story of her disappearance went viral on social media, a number of rumours and false stories surfaced.
In the past, Moonsamy’s family appealed to the community to refrain from sharing these rumours as they said it could put Moonsamy’s life at further risk.
However, their appeals have fallen on deaf ears and on Sunday the family, through their representative, Inderan Naicker, addressed a number of public allegations and speculations.
One of the allocations they addressed was that Moonsamy’s kidnapping was linked to a tender process.

In the statement the family vehemently stated it was untrue.
“Sandra is not a shareholder in the family company. Being in the South African business marketplace, tender processes form a natural part of our day to day operations, as they would at any other similar company. At no point have business practices had an impact on this investigation,” Naicker said.
The family also denied allegations that conflict and tension had developed among family members since the fateful night that Moonsamy disappeared.
“The family states that there is no truth whatsoever to these claims. We remain a tight-knit, supportive and loving family, united in our prayers for Sandra’s safe return. We are sincerely grateful to have the blessing of such a close support network,” said Naicker.
