City Power says one of its employees was hijacked and kidnapped on Wednesday in Lenasia Ext 4 while a team of technicians were busy on site.
A team was attacked by a group of armed criminals who hijacked their white Toyota Hilux GD6 (registration number LG 82 DB GP) and took off with one of the employees.
“We are outraged by such a violent crime meted against our employees while executing their duties. More than anything, we are concerned about the safety of our employee who has been kidnapped by these criminals,” said City Power CEO Tshifularo Mashava.
The power entity is providing psychological support to the victims of the hijacking, while working with authorities to find the kidnapped technicians and the hijacked car.
The utility is also conducting a safety assessment to determine whether it is safe for their teams to continue working in the area.
