- Baukudi was taken while driving home from Martie du Plessis School in Ehrlich Park around midday by two individuals who pretended to be police officers.

- Police found Baukudi's and Malebatso's mobile phones beneath a bridge, and Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane emphasized that the investigation has reached a critical stage, assuring that those responsible will face consequences regardless of whether they are members of the police force.
- Authorities continue to prioritize Baukudi's safe return and appeal to the public for information while maintaining zero tolerance for criminal conduct by any police members.
