They are also being charged under the Provisions of Organised Crime Act, which is a Schedule Six offence.
This means they’ll need to prove exceptional circumstances as to why they should be granted bail.
Abira was kidnapped on her way to school on 4 October.
She was rescued eleven days later from a house in Khayelitsha.
The men have been remanded in custody until their next appearance on 13 December.
