Missing Zim Businessman Ranga Gova Found Alive In SA

Cape Town – A Gauteng family is breathing a sigh of relief as their kidnapped relative has returned home.
Ranga Gova, 35, a businessman from Centurion, was kidnapped while seated in his wife’s vehicle at the traffic lights near the Midstream Mediclinic in Centurion South Africa just before 8pm on Thursday, November 3.
Speaking to SA media, IOL, at the time, Gova’s wife, Mamelo, said at the time of his kidnapping, he was less than two minutes away from the estate where they lived.
The couple has been together for almost six years and has a two-year-old daughter.
She said security guards notified her of the incident after the hijacking was caught on camera.
In footage shared with IOL, Gova can be seen pulling up to the intersection in a grey Mercedes-Benz CLA200D when a vehicle stops beside him and another behind him.
