Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>An Eastern Cape man who was arrested on Friday in connection with the abduction of a “loan shark” and her two siblings, has appeared in court in Cala in the Eastern Cape.<\/p>\n

According to Hawks spokesperson Captain Yolisa Mgolodela, Vuyisani Topo was one of three men dressed in police uniforms who abducted someone she described as a loan shark and her siblings from their home in Ndondo Square, Cala at around 18:15 on 5 July.<\/p>\n

They were robbed of R22 000 and 98 bank cards and were rescued on the same day.<\/p>\n

Mgolodela was unable to provide further details about the victims.<\/p>\n

A police officer, Constable Mfundo Ntshiba, 35, and a traditional healer, Xolile Makhosini, 37, were arrested shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n

“Ntshiba was identified by the victim and was immediately arrested together with Makhosini. They both appeared in Cala Magistrate’s Court on 7 July,” Mgolodela said.<\/p>\n

However, two weeks later, Ntshiba escaped from custody and he is yet to be rearrested.<\/p>\n

Makhosini is out on R2 000 bail and is expected to appear in court again on 30 August.<\/p>\n

Topo is expected to appear in court again on 22 August for a bail application.<\/p>\n
