"Last Night, whilst dropping off Batundi an artist from my label Jacquel - I was involved in a car hijacking and we were both kidnapped and robbed in Linden. The incident took place in the evening at 8:30PM. We only got released at approximately 4AM in a hostel area in Soweto."
Thankfully for all parties concerned, the muso appears to be healing just fine. We spoke to his publicist, Kim Sineke of the Alore Group who confirmed:
"Tresor is doing well following the hijacking incident. He is currently back at work and in the studio. There has been some progress made on his case, with investigations still ongoing. The police have been a great aid to him during the time. Both him and Batundi are happy to have been physically unharmed, they are both preparing new music for the year ahead with their individual projects."

Tresor got the country in a panic last week after he shared a personal note on social media detailing the specifics of his hijacking. He wrote:
“The perpetrators held us at gunpoint, handcuffed us and kept us in the boot for hours on end as they cleaned out our bank accounts.
“By God’s grace, we have survived and we are alright. They have unfortunately taken the vehicle along with other items that were in the car.
“The vehicle is currently still being tracked in an attempt to recover it. Please be on the lookout for a white Range Rover Evoque with the number plate DM 08 ZC GP,”
What do you think we need to do about crime in this country?
