The Gauteng woman, who was allegedly abducted for three days while on her way to church before she was miraculously dumped by her captors at a petrol station, has declined to open a criminal case with the police.
Mbalenhle Nkomo's family said they will no longer give Sowetan interviews on the matter.
Gauteng police spokesperson Col Mavela Masondo told Sowetan on Tuesday that Nkomo, 34, has declined to press kidnapping charges after being found bound inside her vehicle at a Johannesburg petrol station on Sunday afternoon.
The victim came to the police station and stated that she doesnt want to open a criminal case and provided her reasons. Her car was given back to her, Masondo said, without elaborating why the police released a car used in committing of an alleged crime.
Nkomo's husband, Sandile Nkomo, had opened a case of a missing person with the police on August 2 after his wife did not return home from an all-night prayer service at a church in Newtown.
