A kidnapped Cape Town businessman has been rescued after being held for more than 100 days.
Sixty-nine-year-old Ismail Rajah was found unharmed at a house in Khayelitsha in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Rajah was kidnapped outside his business premises in Parow in March.
His abductors later made a ransom demand to his family.
Police say his loved ones were already on their way to Dubai to expedite the ransom payment when the detectives were roped in to investigate.
