According to reports, a gang of armed thugs rammed their car into Ali’s car, in Pretoria West. Ali was then forcibly taken away by the armed gang. The gang is believed to have burnt their Mercedes Benz, which they used to ram into Ali’s car, to wipe off all evidence. The Mercedes Benz numberplate is ‘HMD 511 NW’ Ali who previously lived in Laudium and moved to the nearby private security estate of Eldoglen for security reasons, has an electronics wholesaler business in Pretoria West.
*Police have asked the public to be on the lookout for a damaged grey BMW X5 registration ‘ZGZ 741 GP,’ which is believed to be Ali’s car.
