Pretoria - A Durban mother says she went through hell for four days, after her daughter was kidnapped.

Carina Naicker, 2, was dropped off at a hair salon in Les Marais in Pretoria on Monday, presumably by the man who had kidnapped her.

"I just want to hold her in my arms," a tearful Patricia Naicker said on Monday night.

The police will still decide exactly when and where Carina will be reunited with her mother.

Babysitter

Police spokesperson, Wanda Olivier, said the little girl was kidnapped at South Beach on Friday, reportedly by a man with blonde hair. The man lives in the same complex as Naicker, and was supposed to babysit Carina on Friday while her mother was at work.

A man fitting that description dropped her at the hair salon on Monday, where he told people he had found her abandoned on a train.

"Mommy is gone. Daddy is gone," is what Carina told officers at the Wonderboompoort police station. The only information they could get from her was that her name is Carina - though at first they thought the little girl was saying "Kedina".

She didn't know what her surname is or where she lives.

Naicker said she hadn't been able to eat or sleep since she came home on Friday and realised her child was gone.

'Carina is all I have'

"I've been through hell. I looked for her everywhere, late into the evenings, and constantly wondered whether she was eating, sleeping, whether she's been raped or hurt. Carina is all I have."

Carina's brother Sholin, 13, died due to meningitis in April, and her father Danny died last December from a heart attack.

According to Olivier, two police officers from Durban heard about Carina on the radio, and tracked down her mother. Naicker described her daughter's pink Crocs adorned with butterflies and hearts.

"She was hysterical when she heard we have her daughter."

Michelle Bala from the Wyse Uiltjies academy in Mayville is taking care of Carina until she can be reunited with her mother. According to Bala, Carina was clean but ravenously hungry. After she was bathed and fed, she played, ran around, chatted and even laughed.
