Mthatha Detectives are appealing for information that can lead to the arrest of two unknown gunmen who kidnapped a 51-year-old woman at Tsitsa Bridge near the N2 on Thursday.
Captain Khaya Tonjeni says the incident took place around 10 am.
It is alleged that the victim and her 22-year-old son were travelling from Mabaleni locality Tina Falls to Qumbu when they were hijacked by two men in a silver Polo with registration number ND4735.
Captain Tonjeni says the son was pistol-whipped and shots were fired.
The suspects then bundled the woman into their vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The 51-year-old Nosipho Sidabuka is light in complexion with medium height. She was wearing a grey suit, grey boots and a pink "doek" when last seen.
A case of kidnapping and attempted murder has since been opened at Qumbu.
