The six-month-old baby boy kidnapped by his nanny from his Pretoria North home has been found, a report has said.
According to Eyewitness News, police found the Kgosietsile Marobe alive and well at a crèche in Hillbrow, Johannesburg.
The nanny is reportedly still missing.
Details of how the police found Kgosietsile Marobe remain unclear, but it was believed the boy has been reunited with his mother Mita Marobe, 33.
Lynette Moyo, 21, allegedly kidnapped Kgosietsile while his mother lay asleep next to his cot on Monday.
The kidnapping, thought to be over a wage dispute, is believed to have been carefully orchestrated with the nanny apparently spending weeks in planning.
The EWN report said that the alleged kidnapper, 21-year-old Lynette Moyo, had been in contact with the family overnight and had reduced her ransom from R45 000 to R5 000 and then to R2 000. - IOL

Why do they show the woman crying in the picture. This is a happy PRAISE GOD moment. The child was found alive and well! Thank God.

@Robert: What a voice of sanity, sir! Why didn't I see all those "thanking" their invisible friend also "castigating" their invisible (who is allegedly all mighty) in the first article when this all mighty invisible friend should have been able to stop it, but obviously did NOTHING to stop this happening. Blinkers are being worn by one-eyed people, and THAT is why we will not solve the underlying issues.

Why is everyone thanking god for the child's return instead of blaming their invisible friend for the kidnapping in the first place. Man, he gets off easy.

This story is not and should not be a debate about one's country of origin nor religious belief. We should all take a step back and look at the bigger picture... Look after our children and those in our care to the best of our ability BUT to also be aware of the plight of those around us. The parents of the baby have been traumatized by this incident and I am sure will be even more careful than ever before about the safety of their children... We have to also recognize (wage dispute or not) that the helper who clearly in desparate need. I do not condone nor condemn the situation - I am merely a bystander happy that the baby was returned safely but sad that someone is so desparate that they made a very bad decision. Maybe a little more empathy would help heal ??

@Pieter: Which God exactly do you want me to find? There are so many - how did you specifically choose yours? Please provide me with your objective criteria. Because more than likely, whichever one I choose, probably half the people in the world will say I am wrong. So, how do you REALLY know your one is right?

The R5000 was most probably rent money for her house, electricity, etc, why should that be in question? Not everybody has credit cards or online facilities to pay their rent. I agree that there's something not right here, but let's not crucify the mother for something the nanny did! We don't actually know the circumstances, so let's get of our soapboxes and stop being so bloody minded!

The most unfortunate thing is getting the story at the tail end which most of you have. The childs father works at a Salon and if you had brains you would know that they dont immediately take their days takings to the bank since they close late- this explains the R5000. The mother of the child doesnt own the money hence couldtn afford the R40,000 ransom (it probably belongs to the owner of the salon or something).

How did the baby end up at the creche? what is the procedure of admission at the creche? How did the police find out that the baby was there? Still the story does not make sense.

Well nothing condones what the zim girl did and the law must take its place but its high time this 'madams' be tought a lesson. Start paying on time sisi. Need i remind you that you've got a toddler stop sleeping like queen Elizabeth. And how come you've got a R5000 in your purse yet you don't pay ur nanny? Hmmmm i smell lies mo. Can't even remember the last time i had mere R2500 in my purse. Hai batho baja dollar.

Thank God the baby was found alive and well, If the nanny felt like the salary was not to her expectations, why did she accept the job ?, why drag the child into the salary issue if you cannot negotiate the terms ? And to everyone that says the mother had money but didnt pay the nanny, or this a lesson that you shouldnt abuse people, are u getting paid what you want at your job ? or did you apply for a position and get paid whats was advertised and agreed upon ? To the kidnapper : i wish you get hit by a motocycle and be crippled you are sick, nxa
