Baby still missing Kidnapping seems planned Editorial team THERE is still no trace of the baby girl who was kidnapped in Welkom this week, and it appears as if the kidnapper carefully planned the crime over a period of time. Promises of a good job that would enable her to take care of the eight-month-old Katleho Dineo Seobi made Mathidiso Seobi (21) an easy target. Questions the traumatised mother are struggling with include: “Is my child warm? Does she get enough to eat? Please bring her back to me, I plead with you,” says a tearful Mathidiso. According to her mother, little Katleho was watched over a period of time during the visits to the clinic in Thabong before she was stolen. Mathidiso and her mother, Shelly, say they will do anything to get the child back. The ordeal started when the kidnapper went to Shelly’s house on Monday morning and asked to see the woman (Mathidiso) whom she had met at the clinic. When Mathidiso came out of the bedroom, the woman pretended to know her. She informed Mathidiso about an employment opportunity at a garage in Stateway, Welkom. She told Mathidiso to hurry up, as they had to be at the garage before 14:00. The kidnapper also told Mathidiso to bring the baby with her so that the prospective employer could see that she was the mother of a young child and that she could only work during the day. When they reached the Total Ga-
rage, the woman told Mathidiso to go back to Thabong to fetch the clinic card. The baby stayed behind with the kidnapper. On Mathidiso’s return, the woman then wanted Mathidiso’s identity document. She again left the baby with the woman so that she could go into the shop to buy airtime to phone her mother to bring the document to her. The queue was long, and when Mathidiso went outside again, the woman and Katleho were gone. She cried out for help and the police were summoned. They arrived at the scene within minutes, but there was no sign of the woman or the baby. Capt. Stephen Thakeng, communication and liaison for the police in Welkom, says somebody saw the woman at the Goldfields Mall. Apparently she stood there until the police had left. The suspect is about 1,67 m tall, has a dark complexion, speaks South Sotho, and was wearing a black and red outfit. She was wearing a black hat, a black scarf, a black shawl and red and brown boots.
