Johannesburg - Two men who allegedly hijacked Botswana's ambassador to the US in the North West will appear in court on Monday, the SABC reported.

The men were driving in vehicles with blue lights and wearing camouflage uniforms. They held Seretse at gunpoint and the car.

Police arrested them near Lenasia South, in Gauteng. They were expected to appear before the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court on Monday.
