A Chinese citizen was kidnapped by a gang of criminals near his store at Kokstad， KwaZulu-Natal， South Africa （270km from Durban）. His family didn't know where he had been taken. The kidnappers asked the victim's family for a large ransom. Having received the report of this case， the Consulate General of the PRC in Durban paid high attention to it， taking rescue action immediately. Staff kept in close contact with the Police Liaison Section of the Embassy of the PRC in South Africa， the KwaZulu-Natal Police Service， the Flying Squad in Durban Centre Police Department， the SAPS in Kokstad and the Durban Chinese community & Police Co-operation Centre，demanding that the police try their best to crack the case，rescue the hostage and capture the kidnappers as soon as possible.

Mr. Wang Jianzhou， Consul-General of the Consulate General of the PRC in Durban， had an urgent meeting with the colonel in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department in KwaZulu-Natal and the colonel in charge of the Flying Squad in the Durban Central Police Department， asking the police to take immediate， ef fective and safe action to search for and rescue the hostage. The police co-ordinated closely with the Chinese Consulate， taking rapid action and deploying several detectives. Soon the police located the area where the kidnappers were hiding. The colonels stayed in the consulate to command and co-ordinate the rescue action with the Consul-General. By nightfall， as a result of the ef forts made by all parties concerned， the hostage escaped from the kidnappers and was successfully escorted by police to a safe place. At the request of the Consulate General of the PRC in Durban， the police protected the victim and his family in the following days and promised that they would bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.
