There's growing alarm at the number of kidnappings being reported in South Africa.

Holding people for ransom has become increasingly lucrative against a backdrop of economic hardship and political turmoil - and with the police struggling to get a grip - many South Africans are living in fear of abduction

Five people are dead and more than 40 have been arrested after an early-morning hostage situation at a church near Johannesburg, police in South Africa said Saturday.

A statement said police and military who responded to reports of a shooting at the International Pentecostal Holiness Church headquarters in Zuurbekom found four people “shot and burned to death in a car” and a security guard shot in another car.

Six other people were injured.

Police said they rescued men, women and children who had been held hostage and appeared to have been living at the church. It was not clear how many were rescued.
