The South African Police Service(SAPS)calls for responsible social media reporting around the kidnapping case of Mr Jerry Boshoga.
In the last twenty-four hours unverified social media accounts have shared misleading and false information claiming that Mr Boshoga has been found deceased.
The SAPS can confirm that the investigation into his kidnapping is still at a very sensitive stage and the businessman has not been found alive nor deceased.
We therefore call on all social media users to STOP THE SPREAD OF UNVERIFIED INFORMATION.
Social media users are also urged to spare a thought for the family of the victim.
The spreading of such misleading information has caused unnecessary trauma, panic and anxiety for the close family members including his mother, wife and children.
The SAPS is in close contact with the family and if there are any developments in the case, the family will be the first to be notified by the investigating team.
