Since 2022, foreign nationals – especially Ethiopian businessmen – have been targeted by kidnappers in the Eastern Cape.ย Now itโ€™s become an all-out war. In Qonce (formerly King William’s Town), the community says at least two people are taken every week, with the kidnappers demanding ransom from their families. On the ground, informants and security experts say theyโ€™ve narrowed down the location of the kidnapping kingpins. They say that organised crime syndicates have taken root in the province and allege that police are involved. According to some insiders, these small-scale kidnappings provide much-needed capital for the syndicates to operate on a larger, more lucrative scale; targeting wealthy South African business owners. Carte Blanche investigates.
