Soccer star, Vincent “Shuffle” Pule has been left traumatized after he was hijacked and kidnapped. The Orlando Pirates attacking midfielder’s black BMW and other items were taken during the horrific experience in Joburg on the night of Sunday 31 July.
Suspects believed to have been involved were arrested the same night after they used his bank card to buy booze in Soweto.
The incident happened with Pule at the peak of his football career.
He started playing football in the streets of his hometown in QwaQwa, Free State, before he was signed by the African Warriors.
After two years of playing with the team, he was spotted by Bidvest Wits as a free-kick specialist.
In 2018, Shuffle joined Orlando Pirates where he has been playing as a striker.
In 2022, Pule was crowned the Buccaneers’ Player of the Season, alongside Deon Hotto.
Orlando Pirates spokeswoman Thandi Merafe confirmed the incident. She said: “The ordeal happened and the player is safe.”
Merafe said the matter was with the authorities for further investigation.
“I cannot give more details on the incident until the investigations are concluded,” she said.
The police had not commented on the incident by the time of going to print.
