POLOKWANE – The kidnapping of the four Moti brothers has put to the test the strength and support of a community that has always had each others’ best interests at heart.
The community of Nirvana has in the past two days been a pillar of support for Nazim and Shakira Moti following the kidnapping of their sons Zidan (6), Zayyad (11), Alaan (13) and Zia (15).
Well-known resident and community leader in Nirvana, Solly Hassan spoke to Review about the trials of the past two days.
“The community really cares for each other and the pain felt by one of the residents or families is felt by the whole community. We stand together.”
He adds that the incident tested the strength of the community and they will continue to support the boys’ parents.
“We pray that the kids are returned safely to their parents.”
It has now been more than a day since a group of armed men forcefully took the four boys from the vehicle. A multi-faceted team led by the deputy provincial commissioner responsible for crime detection, Major General Samuel Manala continues the search for the children.
Investigators and other role players with the relevant expertise have also been asked to assist in the investigation, police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo confirmed to Review earlier today.
Anyone who has information that can assist in this investigation, or who knows the whereabouts of the children can contact the Polokwane Police Station on 015 290 6000 or the investigating officer Capt Rasedile on 082 565 8566.
