Gauteng: Cops nabbed after sex trafficking victim ‘raped repeatedly’
Both the brigadier and captain are alleged to have paid a brothel owner for raping a woman who had been kept as a sex slave
The Hawks have arrested two senior members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) on Thursday, 13 May 2021, for their alleged role in a sex trafficking operation in Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg.
According to the elite crime-busting unit, the two suspects, both aged 57, were regulars at an unidentified brothel where a missing woman was being held hostage and used as a sex slave. Instead of abiding by their oath and coming to her rescue, the officers – a brigadier and captain, forced themselves on the woman, raping her on multiple occasions and paying money to the brothel owner.

A 33-year-old man is expected to appear at Kempton Park Regional Court on Monday for being in the possession of 23 pieces of gold worth R11 million.
The Hawks said he was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Saturday by their Serious Organised Crime Investigation team.
Spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Philani Nkwalase, said the traveller was requested to scan his luggage at customs sections at international arrivals when authorities found the gold in his luggage.
“He allegedly failed to declare any items and did not have any permits or licences to be in possession or transport gold and the Hawks were called to effect the arrest and further investigation,” Nkwalase said.
