This, as Imaad’s paternal grandmother, Nabilah Saghar, thanked the Tafelsig community for their efforts in returning her grandchild.

“We would not have known that he was there if there was not this tip-off,” she said.

“No one understands the process of waiting to hear that your child is safe and then there is that one person who notices that something is wrong.

“I have read so much about the ‘gown gang’ but to the ‘besige' (curious) people of Honolulu Street, I want to say thank you, because of your curiosity, I got my grandson back.

“I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart, that they were brave enough to report that they saw something that was not right.”
