SAPS spokesperson, Thulani Zwane, says it's understood that six men approached the victim and asked for help to get to a local hospital. They demanded money from him before driving his car to a nearby park.
Zwane says they torched the vehicle and instructed the man, who they'd allegedly tied to a tree, to call his brother and ask for R25 000 in cash in exchange for his life.
The brother called a local security company and officers managed to track down the group - catching three members. Zwane says the others are still on the run.
