Family praying for their protection

An intensive search operation to find the four missing Moti brothers, who were abducted in Limpopo continues.

The family’s lawyer Philip Smit says they don't know where the boys are and no one has made contact with the family to demand a ransom.

The boys were abducted along the Tzaneen bypass while on the way to school on Wednesday morning.

It’s believed seven armed suspects ambushed the vehicle they were travelling in. Their cellphones were later found dumped in Flora Park.

Smit says the family is distraught and they hope Zia, Alaan, Zayyad and Zidan Moti are safe.
