Seven young sex-slaves rescued from Free State brothel: 2 Ugandan males arrested for human trafficking and drugs-trade by SAPS.
-- South Africa is a hub of human trafficking, and even the United States government has criticised the country for not doing enough to crack down on the vile sex-slavery trade. (see attacked page grabs)
----------------------
4 Maart 2015 The seven students, 18 to 20 years old, from North West and Bloemfontein, were rescued from the brothel and taken to a place of safety, said Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi.
A member of the community alerted the police to the situation of the young girls.
Besides arresting the Ugandans, they also confiscated cocaine and methcathinone ('cat') valued at R5000.
The two 'males' are scheduled to appear in Bloemfontein magistrate's court on Thursday March 5 2015 for human trafficking and 'sexual violations'.
It's not known how the students ended up in the brothel: whether they were kidnapped or lured in some way.
