September 16, 2026

Former SABC sports presenter and commentator Owen Ndlovu remains missing after he was reportedly abducted by armed men in Katlehong on Tuesday night, sparking an ongoing search for his whereabouts.

Reports indicate that Ndlovu was confronted by a group of armed men at about 20:00 before being forced into his vehicle in front of his wife. The men then allegedly drove away with him.

The case later took a worrying turn when Ndlovu’s vehicle was reportedly found in Walkerville. The vehicle is said to have been stripped, while Ndlovu was nowhere to be found.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the motive for the reported abduction remain unclear.

An online report published following the incident also reported that Ndlovu had been kidnapped by armed men in Katlehong on Tuesday night.

Law enforcement authorities are investigating the incident, with efforts to trace Ndlovu continuing.

No confirmed information regarding his condition or whereabouts was available at the time of publication.

Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in Katlehong or Walkerville, or who has information that could assist investigators, is urged to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or visit their nearest police station.
