- BY KIM SWARTZ

TWO Lotus River ouens become heroes when they stopped the attempted kidnapping of a meisie from Phumlani Village.

Rudy Roman and Faanie Olivier decided to take the long way home from a kuier in Phumlani Village on Monday and never imagined their detour would end with them rescuing a five-year-old girl from a horrible fate.

Roman told the Daily Voice that he was on his way to take his pal Olivier halfway home to Blesbok Road, Lotus River.

As the pair were walking, a klein meisie who was being held by a man asked them for help.
