遭绑架36天 浙江籍侨胞在南非获救 5名嫌犯落网
约翰内斯堡——南非警方10月4日在豪登省兰德方丹一处农庄解救出一名被绑架36天的38岁男子，并在行动中逮捕5名嫌疑人。南非警方通报称，该男子于8月30日在约翰内斯堡市中心被掳走。据红星新闻、中国宁波网报道，受害者是来自中国浙江的徐姓侨胞。
据南非警方介绍，男子被掳后，绑匪向其家属索要赎金，家属随即在约翰内斯堡中央警察局登记了绑架与勒索案件。豪登省警方发言人迪马卡措·内武胡尔维（Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi）上校表示，警方组建多部门联合团队展开情报主导的调查，成员包括约翰内斯堡中央警察局侦探、犯罪情报部门、反绑架组、飞行队以及私人安保公司。南非警方称，绑匪索要的赎金为200万美元；南非广播公司报道称，赎金数额为3200万兰特。
10月4日，调查取得突破：警方先行逮捕3名男子，并从其身上查获用于联系受害者家属、索要赎金的手机。警方随后顺线摸排至兰德方丹一处农庄，在现场找到被囚禁的受害者并将其安全解救，受害者未受伤害；警方在现场再逮捕2名嫌疑人，被捕人数增至5人。
南非警方表示，5名嫌疑人将面临绑架与勒索指控，案件调查仍在继续。据中国媒体报道，南非福建同乡总会在案件处理过程中协助警方参与营救，另有5名涉案人员在逃。
Chinese National From Zhejiang Rescued in South Africa After 36 Days in Captivity; Five Suspects Arrested
JOHANNESBURG — South African police rescued a 38-year-old man on Oct. 4 from a plot in Randfontein, Gauteng province, ending 36 days in captivity, and arrested five suspects, the South African Police Service (SAPS) said. According to police, the man was kidnapped on Aug. 30 in the Johannesburg central business district. Chinese media outlets, including Hongxing News and China Ningbo Net, identified the victim as a Chinese national surnamed Xu from Zhejiang province.
Police said the kidnappers demanded a ransom from the victim's family — put at US$2 million by police and at 32 million rand by the South African Broadcasting Corporation — and a case of kidnapping and extortion was registered at Johannesburg Central Police Station. Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, spokesperson for Gauteng police, said a multidisciplinary team comprising Johannesburg Central detectives, Crime Intelligence, the Anti-Kidnapping Team, the Flying Squad and private security companies was assembled to run an intelligence-driven investigation.
On Oct. 4, investigators arrested three men who were found in possession of the cellphone used to contact the victim's family and demand the ransom. Further investigation led the team to the plot in Randfontein, where the victim was found and rescued unharmed; two more suspects were arrested at the premises, bringing the total number of arrests to five.
Police said all five suspects are expected to face charges of kidnapping and extortion, and that the investigation remains ongoing. Chinese media reported that the Fujian Hometown Association of South Africa assisted police in the rescue effort and that five further suspects remain at large.
