The SAPS's various task teams have always been very successful because they can, as their names suggest, focus on the task at hand.
The same goes for specialised units like the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Units.
The latest case in point is the work of the SAPS Anti-kidnapping task team, who managed to safely reunite a businessman who was kidnapped in July 2025 from his business premises in Benoni, in the early morning hours.
And, the team's efforts have hopefully also broken the back of the numerous kidnapping incidents that have happened in the northern parts of the country, since the Mozambican "Dollarman" - a wanted kidnapping kingpin both locally and in Mozambique - was killed in a shootout with the police, near Kempton Park last night.

Keep up the good work!
We urge the National Commissioner to establish more to ensure that those responsible for serious and violent crimes are disrupted.



South African Police Service

The South African Police Service (SAPS) Anti-Kidnapping Task Team has safely reunited an Indian businessman with his family following a shootout with an alleged mastermind behind the businessman’s .

The businessman was found in Alexandra in a shack shortly after midnight on Thursday, 04 September 2025.

His rescue follows a shooting in which the alleged mastermind behind his kidnapping was shot and killed during confrontation with police officers near the R21 in Kempton Park on Wednesday evening.

The suspect who goes by the nickname “Dollarman” is a wanted kidnapping kingpin in both SA and in Mozambique. He is on SERNIC which is Mozambique’s wanted persons database where he was a wanted for several kidnapping for ransoms cases.

In SA he was also linked to at least five kidnapping for ransom cases as well as other cases of housebreaking, carjacking and possession of unlicensed fi****ms.

In the past week alone, police have arrested more than 14 773 suspects for various crimes ranging from murder to r**e and at least 163 illegal fi****ms have seized during OPERATION SHANELA.

The first Sunday of every September is a sad day for everyone in the South African Police Service and their families.
It is the annual when we pay tribute to all our fallen heroes in blue: the men and women who paid the highest price because criminals have no respect for any lives.
Wherever you are this coming Sunday, 7 September 2025: please pause and observe a moment of silence to remember the lives of each police member who has, over decades of policing, lost their lives, so we can be a bit safer.

and so has the issue of SERVAMUS COMMUNITY-BASED SAFETY & SECURITY MAGAZINE

What do we focus on this month?
not only affects or threatens the safety of citizens in other parts of the world, but it can also affect South Africans’ safety. The funding for the devastation caused by terrorism often comes from sources seldom associated with terror, including charities and crowdfunding. In addition, organised crime contributes significantly to terror funding. The articles in the September 2025 issue of Servamus serve as a wake-up call by highlighting the realities of terrorism, including that it knocks on South Africa’s door.

Remember, the magazine is available in both a and a format - the choice is yours.
