Mpahlwa says he was contacted by the prince after he was kidnapped.

"Just before 5.00pm yesterday, I received a call from the prince indicated that I must call him back, which I did. He told me he had been kidnapped and he was in the back of a bakkie which was heading in the direction of Kokstad, but he did not know the exact location," says Mpahlwa.

"He told me he could use his phone, because his phone was in his sock and asked if we could contact the police for help."

Mpahlwa explains what happened and what the prince told him.
