Residents were left in shock after a pupil from the EP Bauman Primary School in Mayfair, Johannesburg, was kidnapped on Wednesday.
Councillor Rickey Nair was on the scene within a few minutes following the incident after being informed by a neighbourhood watch member who was dropping his child at the school just before 8am.
“Two men pulled up in a Toyota Yaris, both armed with AK47s. The children were lining up outside the gate and they called the girl. They knew their target,” he said.

“The vehicle’s registration plates came back as fake.”
Nair said the girl’s mother panicked and went home. She received a phone call as soon as she arrived home telling her not to call the police or the media.
