Acting Judge Alma de Wet handed down sentences to Leandra Williams Ayuk from Springbok, her husband who she is divorcing Yannick Ayuk and Edward Ayuk in the trial that started in November 2011. Edward and Yannick Ayuk are cousins from Cameroon.
Two men and one woman, known as the ‘Milnerton Trio’, were convicted for human trafficking in the Western Cape High Court on Friday after more than a decade-long trial.The Milnerton Trio were accused of trafficking women to the Western Cape and forcing them into prostitution.
‘Human trafficking is a dehumanising crime that reduces people to commodities,’ she said, adding that the State proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. Advocate Maria Marshall and investigating officers Shane Pamplin and Captain Ayanda Mpayipeli, a drug cop and an undercover drug agent, led the investigation.
Investigations revealed that the trio recruited, transported and trafficked the women and one girl. They were found to be undereducated, came from difficult social and economic conditions and were desperate for work, or already working in the industry. ‘A 26-year-old victim was allegedly lured to Cape Town, from Johannesburg, by a lady known to her with promises of employment,’ Hawks spokesperson Captain Lloyd Ramovha told‘On arrival, two males allegedly picked her up and she was subsequently kept against her will and allegedly turned into a sex worker.’
