9 September 2019
The Laerskool Kollegepark teacher who was arrested on Wednesday for the kidnapping of Amy'Leigh de Jager, 6, in Vanderbijlpark, was allegedly using "narcotics" and owed money to drug lords.
This is according to a WhatsApp voice note the teacher's father, Riaan Botha, sent to a family member last week, shortly after she was arrested.
Botha confirmed the voice note's authenticity to News24 outside the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The 27-year-old teacher Tharina Human, who appeared on kidnapping charges on Monday, was arrested along with two alleged accomplices by members of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit.
