Flamboyant Zimbabwean millionaire Frank Buyanga Sadiqi has been arrested in South Africa.

The wealthy businessman was reportedly arrested at around 4 am at an upmarket hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg.

According to NewsHawks, Frank Buyanga Sadiqi has been nabbed over a number of charges that include child trafficking, immigration violations, and forgery.

The South African Police Services (SAPS) confirmed his arrest in a statement saying;

“Sadiqi is wanted by the Zimbabwean authorities for child trafficking, forgery and violation of the immigration act,” reads part of the statement signed by Colonel Athlenda Mathe.

The SAPS revealed that Frank Buyanga’s charges emanate from 2020 when he kidnapped his son from his baby mama Chantelle Muteswa.

“The charges emanate from an incident which took place in April 2020 in Zimbabwe where the suspect kidnapped his next of kin and fled with him to South Africa. 

“A warrant of arrest was immediately issued by Zimbabwean Authorities after which a red notice was also issued by Interpol Harare,” reads the statement.

After he kidnapped his son, Frank Buyanga was put on the wanted list in Zimbabwe after he failed to return the child to his ex-lover within the stipulated time frame.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police ended up ropping in Interpol, to assist in apprehending the businessman whom they described as a fugitive from justice.

“My police officers are investigating this criminal case and efforts to locate either the applicant or the minor child within Zimbabwe have yielded no results. 

“The investigations are still continuing and are at an advanced stage and Interpol has been invoked to assist in locating both the applicant and the minor child outside this jurisdiction,” Commissioner Godwin Matanga said.
