Actress and TV presenter Nomsa Buthelezi shared a distressing video on her Facebook page after learning that she inadvertently gave out her friend’s contact details to a hijacking syndicate member, leading to her hijacking.
The former Generations: The Legacy actress said she received a call from a lady who identified herself as Noluthando. The caller asked if there is anyone she knows who can provide decor services for a wedding, citing that the person who was supposed to do her decor has disappointed her.
Not knowing that the lady was under false pretence, Nomsa recommended her friend and shared her contact details to the lady.
She shared that she later received a call from her friend, where she could hear that her friend was being hijacked. Nomsa said she called the police and shared what was happening, but the police were not willing to help her. She also said that she tried searching the number, and it was registered with a different name.
