About 200 people gathered in the Lenasia South Community Hall in Johannesburg yesterday evening to pray for Mohamed’s safe return after he was kidnapped by armed men while en route to the Turkish border.
The 38-year-old photojournalist has not been seen for just over a week.
At the prayer service‚ close friend Mazharuddin Rosenberg spoke of Mohamed’s love of photography.
“He’s one of the [most] humble people I have met,” he said.
“A very caring person‚ invited me over many times to his home, but what has always caught my eye with Shiraaz – his camera is always with him.”
