Abducted then found, one of the lucky ones
Tlhamolo Mudimeli is one of the lucky ones. The 12-year-old went missing from outside his house in Krugersdorp last Saturday.
His family spent a sleepless night, but on Monday the boy was rescued after a concerned citizen contacted the police.
Tlhamolo's father, Lufuno Mudimeli, told the Sunday Times he prayed for the person who took him, "prayed that God speaks to their heart and they do not harm my child. My wife was scared and I could not collapse as she needed me to be strong."
Tlhamolo had been playing with friends near his house at the time.
Kagiso policeman Capt Solomon Sibiya said an elderly woman had asked the children to help carry her groceries but then made Tlhamolo sell at her tuck shop and refused to let him go home.
"A man from the area noticed that the boy was confused and alerted the police."
Mudimeli said it was an unbearable experience. "The night was cold, so I wondered how Tlhamolo was handling it, had he eaten, was he OK?"..
