"So, kidnapping only happens in South Africa and won't happen in Dubai, if the perpetrators are obviously this threatening, it stands to reason that, they can find them anywhere in the world. So why run?"

Moti Brothers: Father won't let police speak with kids, family moves to Dubai

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that the father of the four Moti Brothers kidnapped last year has reportedly interdicted law officers from speaking with the boys, putting an indefinite halt on police investigations.

According to an exclusive report compiled by eNCA, police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda shared that following the traumatic incident the boys were expected to receive mental and physical evaluations. However, their father quickly filed the interdict preventing police from speaking to any family member.

The family has also since moved to Dubai, a source claims.

While social media users had mixed reactions to the news, it seems many peeps were in support of Mr Moti and his decision not to make the children relive their trauma.

"Maybe the father just doesn't want his children to relive the ordeal and he relocated to Dubai because he doesn't want a repeat seeing that we are now a lawless country."

"We need a Netflix series on the Moti kidnapping. This becomes more intriguing by the day."

@Mokola7860 said:

"We need to keep in mind the children have been through a traumatic experience & needing to replay that again. They will probably be happy to do it via psychologist? With regard to leaving for Dubai, this is probably a security reason & due to their status, it is warranted."

"We’ve always known that this was collusion between family, state and drug lords. Remember the drugs that disappeared from the evidence room?"
