KWAITO QUEEN SAFE

LEAD vocalist of popular Kwaito group Abashante, Queen “Iyaya” Sesoka, is apparently safe. On Friday night she told a Johannesburg radio station she was not kidnapped, as reported by a newspaper earlier in the day. The Sowetan newspaper earlier reported that a man claiming to be speaking from England telephoned on Thursday night to say that Sesoka had been kidnapped. According to the newspaper report, Sesoka went missing on Tuesday after having lunch at the family home in Daveyton.
