Cape Town – A video of a kidnapped man with his hands bound to the back while trying to escape from his alleged kidnappers at a petrol station in eMalahleni is circulating on social media.
In the shocking video, the victim can be seen coming out of the back of a Toyota Avanza with his hands tied behind his back.
While he tries to get away, someone from the car pulls him back in while another man runs to the car and pushes the victim inside.
The incident took place in full view of a petrol attendant who was putting fuel in the alleged kidnappers’ car. He did intervene – instead, he continued doing his job.
