Johannesburg - There is no change in the status of the four South Africans who were kidnapped in northern Baghdad, Iraq on Sunday, the foreign affairs department said on Tuesday.
At this stage it was not yet known who had kidnapped them as no demands have been made and no reasons have been given for the kidnapping, said spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa.
He said the department was in contact with the security company as well as the family members of those kidnapped.
The names of the four could not be released yet as government did not have express permission from the families to do so.
The four South Africans were kidnapped on Sunday travelling in a convoy of four vehicles when they were flagged down at an apparent bogus road block north of Baghdad.
They are employees of Safe Net security service, which is a sub-contractor for the United States Department of Defence, Mamoepa said.
