Alert Notice – Human Trafficking/Kidnapping Safety in Shopping Malls

This is an alert notice to the public, management and staff of shopping malls and centers to be vigilant of persons operating in the malls, following members of the public specifically women around

Two incidences in the last two days at different malls (Menlyn Park Shopping Centre and Mall of Africa) have been reported of unknown males following females in the malls and fortunately in both cases the females were alert and notified security. In the one case the female managed to take a video of the male following her and has gone viral on social media. The female in the second case is known to ACT Africa and alerted us immediately after the incident took place.

With the rise in Kidnappings, Abductions and Human Trafficking in SA this is very worrying and scary for all going to the shopping malls.
