Two suspects aged 41 and 32 respectively made a brief appearance at the Strand Magistrate court on charges of human trafficking, keeping a brothel, prostitution as well as possession of drugs last week.
The duo Thandy Godson Oforbuike (41) and Rozelda Ezeka (32) were arrested in the Strand area on Wednesday last week during a Hawks led operation by members of the Serious Organised Crime Investigation unit and Law enforcement members from Vice Squad. The two allegedly kept a 28-year-old victim against her will. She was rescued by the team and taken to a place of safety for recovery.
Oforbuike and Fezeka are expected to be back in court on 20 July 2018.
