According to police spokesperson Colonel Donal Mdhluli the two were allegedly being dumped by their assailants in the bushes near the N14 road in Diepsloot.
He said the driver, Gugu Mtsweni had been tied with ropes but managed to free herself to go seek help.
“A taxi driver saw her as she was looking for help. She related the story to the taxi driver who immediately informed the police. The police then went with them to the bushes where the municipal manager was found.”
They were taken to the hospital and later reunited with their families after the matter was reported to the police.
