⚠️ URGENT: NEW KIDNAPPING SCAM IN SOUTH AFRICA - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️*
Ladies, please be careful in town, taxi ranks, malls, and parking lots. There’s a new method kidnappers are using:
*How the scam works:*
1. *The approach*: A man in a car stops next to you. He calls you by a name or says “Hey, get in the car! We’ve been looking for you.”
2. If you refuse and say you don’t know him, he immediately switches tactics.
He turns to people around and says loud enough for everyone to hear:
_“Don’t worry guys, she’s my wife. She has amnesia / she’s mentally ill. She gets confused like this. I just need to get her home.”_
3. *Why it works*: People don’t want to interfere in “family problems” or with someone who “has a mental illness.” So they look away. That’s exactly what he’s counting on. That’s how he gets you into the car. That’s the strategy
*IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:*
- Do NOT get in the car for any reason.
- Be loud and specific*: Yell “*I DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. THIS IS KIDNAPPING. PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND HELP ME.*”
The word “KIDNAPPING” makes people react way faster than “I’m fine.”
- *Draw attention*: Drop your bags, sit on the ground, scream. Make it impossible for him to look normal.
- *Call for help*
*AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IF YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING:*
- Don’t assume it’s domestic. Don’t walk away, help the victim.
- Step in and ask the Scammer directly*: If they know the person they are trying to take, if they say yes, Ask the lady (victim) to whisper her name to you or the Lady(victim) to show you her ID…then Tell the scammer/kidnapper to tell you the name of that lady(victim) he’s trying to take.… if the scammer gets the name wrong it simply means he was trying to kidnap the lady….
- *Call 10111 or SAPS* right away and tell them you suspect a kidnapping.
- *Take details*: Car color, make, license plate, location, what the man looks like. Send to police and share to warn others.
Kidnappers are using our fear of “getting involved” and stigma around mental illness against us. Let’s not let it work.
*Please share this with your sisters, mothers, friends, coworkers, and WhatsApp groups.* One share could save a life.
Stay in groups where you can. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.

I genuinely believe God knows how to compensate for lost time. The years may look wasted to us, but in God’s hands, they’re never beyond redemption. Nothing surrendered to Him is ever wasted.
If you've been worried about money lately… read Matthew 6:31–33 and pray this. 💛
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a humble and grateful heart. You are my Father, my Provider, my Shepherd, and my Source. Your Word says that before I even ask, You already know what I need. Nothing about my life surprises You. You know every bill, every debt, every responsibility, every dream, and every burden I carry.
Lord, forgive me for the times I have allowed fear, anxiety, and uncertainty to fill my heart. Forgive me for the moments I have looked more at my circumstances than at Your promises. Today I choose to place my confidence in You. I choose to believe that You are faithful, and that You will never abandon those who put their trust in You.
Your Word in Matthew 6:31–33 tells me not to worry about what I will eat, what I will drink, or what I will wear, because my Heavenly Father knows that I need all these things. Instead, You have called me to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, with the promise that all these things will be added to me. Lord, help me to live according to that truth every day.
Teach me to seek You before I seek success. Teach me to pursue Your presence before I pursue possessions. Let my greatest desire be to know You more, to obey You completely, and to honor You in every area of my life. Whether I have much or little, help me remain faithful and content, knowing that You are enough.
As I work, build, study, create, serve, invest, and pursue the opportunities You place before me, give me wisdom from above. Show me where to go, what decisions to make, what opportunities to embrace, and what paths to avoid. Protect me from shortcuts that lead to regret, dishonest gain, and decisions driven by fear. Let Your Holy Spirit guide every financial decision I make.
