"Three luxury vehicles worth R3 million and a firearm have since been seized for further investigation," he said.
Malaudzi says the suspects had been demanding a ransom of R140 million from the family.

In a statement Moonsamy's brother Inderan Naicker says the family are relieved to have their sister back safely.
