Parents ‘overjoyed’ as four Moti brothers return home
The parents of the four Moti brothers have thanked South Africans for their support after their sons returned home unharmed.
Brothers Zia (15), Alaan (13), Zayyad (11) and Zidan (6), who were snatched by seven unknown suspects in Polokwane while on their way to school three weeks ago, were reunited with the family on Wednesday.
The police confirmed that they were dropped off on the side of the road.
In a post on their Auto Moti Facebook page, the parents, Naazim and Shakira Moti, said they were overjoyed by the return of their sons.
“We thank Almighty Allah for accepting our prayers and the prayers of so many in South Africa.”
The parents thanked everyone, including the police, political parties and ordinary South Africans.
“We wish to express our sincere gratitude to South African Police Services, our political parties, the media, all the social media influencers and everyone who prayed for the safety of our children.
We are thankful that they were set free and when we received a phone call to fetch the children, we rushed to the scene full of hope.
“All of South Africa supported us and we want to thank one and all for their support and kind prayers,” said the parents.
The family asked for privacy as they go through healing.
“We will talk to the media within a few days,” they said.
