It is alleged that Onalenna Molehabangwe and Gontse Cholo both aged 10 were kidnapped by three occupants driving a Volkswagen Polo. According to information available at this stage, reports suggest that the victims who are both from Extension 38, were in the company of another boy when the suspects lured the victims to their car with chips.
