THESE men drive around the squatter camp in flashy cars, promising women office jobs.

The women are then taken to an “office” to sort out the details.

But apparently the place turned out to be more of a place to poke than an office!

Last week, two Zandspruit women were allegedly kidnapped and found the “office” to be a room on a Honeydew plot.

“It looked as if they were going to sell us,” they said. They were locked inside a room containing a bed, mealie- meal and a bottle of fish oil. “We became suspicious as it looked nothing like an office. It seemed something evil was going on.

“We found another girl from Soweto who told us she was recruited for an office job.”

They said a man pushed the lever down to lock the door. “He was gone close to 30 minutes when we managed to open it and fled. The girl we found there went to the gate to ask security to open.”

The women say the man was captured, but when people wanted to burn him alive, community leaders intervened.

Community leader Kenneth Lekalakala said they took the man to Honeydew Police Station.

“He was questioned and released. The police said there was no evidence.”

The women are worried as the man is still roaming the squatter camp, probably still scouting for women.

Captain Balan Muthan said a case will be opened so the place can be raided.
