A missionary from the US has been kidnapped in Gqeberha.
Josh Sullivan was abducted on Thursday evening while delivering a sermon at the Fellowship Baptist Church Motherwell in Mambalaza Street, NU10, at about 7pm.
The family’s spokesperson Jeremy Hall said on Friday his wife and their children were also at the church when the incident took place but escaped unharmed.
“They knew his name,” Hall said.
“The men came into the church and initially held Meagan and walked her towards the door before saying, ‘Josh, is this your wife?’ They then pushed her to the ground and took Josh before driving off in his vehicle.
“The car was found a few kilometres away shortly afterwards.”
