Breaking local news in Boksburg
The human trafficking case under investigation after a raid on a house in Sunnyridge in Ekurhuleni has many similarities to a human trafficking case involving the discovery of 26 Ethiopian men, also found locked inside a house in Benoni on August 23.
No further information has been forthcoming from police authorities. However, the Primrose CPF chairperson, Tracy Enslin, told“The youngest is about 10. They were living in terrible conditions, and there were burglar bars on all the windows. “The raid was executed by Germiston Crime Intelligence officers, the Hawks and the Primrose SAPS. They received medical assessments, and seven were subsequently transported to hospital. Many of them are underweight, and those taken to hospital were severely dehydrated. The rest are at the Primrose Police Station, where they are very comfortable,” says Enslin.
They were arrested in connection with the alleged trafficking of 26 Ethiopian nationals found at a property on Fifth Street, Northmead, on August 23.The men had been locked up in the house for about four months after allegedly being lured to the country with the promise of jobs.
