JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African police say they have rescued 90 Ethiopian migrants who were being held against their will at a property in Johannesburg. Police said Monday they carried out a search at the property for a person reported to have been kidnapped and discovered the migrants. They say two people were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and human trafficking. The alleged kidnapping victim was also rescued.
