The four Ugandans facing different charges, respectively, of human trafficking, kidnapping, rape, attempted murder, illegal abortion and being in the country illegally reappeared in the Secunda Magistrate’s Court on July 17.
Lydia Mojemba (37), Wilson Seyikabi (49), Jingo Wassua (38) and Njobozi Katiti (46) were arrested in Ogies in July 2018 after they abducted Mojemba’s niece at her boyfriend’s house on July 13, 2018.
Mojemba’s niece, also a Ugandan national, was lured to SA to work for her aunt, who allegedly handed out pamphlets advertising abortion and traditional healer services.

The four kidnapped the niece from her house in Secunda, where she lived with her boyfriend, and performed an illegal abortion on her. Katiti threw the stillborn next to the train tracks in Ogies.
The niece escaped from the room where they held her, contacted her boyfriend and fled to Secunda, whereafter the couple went to the police and accompanied them to Ogies, where the SAPS arrested the four.
Magistrate Graham Cupido was going to give the judgment, but an electricity outage forced him to postpone the case to today (July 23).
