THE owner of a Mozambican fruit juice company has been kidnapped, the latest in a string of abductions targeting Muslim businessmen, police said

Ibrahim Gani went missing on Saturday from his upmarket home in suburban Matola, said Maputo police spokesman Joao Machava.

This is the 15th kidnapping confirmed by authorities in the Maputo area since late 2011, with most of the victims coming from South Asian families.

In some cases families have paid ransoms of millions of rand.

Mozambique is growing fast - although from a small base. This kind of thing will drive away capital so that must act fast to finish off the kidnap industry. We do not want another Somalia in the South.
