Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Two suspects were arrested by the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) for human trafficking. The male and female suspects were arrested in the Johannesburg CBD on 15 June.<\/p>\n

How did the arrests happen?<\/b><\/p>\n

While conducting patrols along Wanderers and Noord Street, operations officers stopped an overloaded silver Toyota Quantum minibus taxi with Mozambican number plates.<\/p>\n

Officers searched the vehicle and found that all the passengers within the vehicle were undocumented foreign nationals. Officers attempted to question the passengers and a lady in the vehicle spoke on their behalf so they would not be arrested.<\/p>\n

Why were they coming into SA?<\/b><\/p>\n

The lady informed the officers that each passenger paid her R3 500 to come to South Africa for a \u201cbetter life and to get a job\u201d. The man driving the minibus taxi was paid R1 000 per person in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The woman alluded that they transport people from Malawi crossing the Mozambique border into Mzansi.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for the JMPD Xolani Fihla said the driver and the woman were arrested and detained at the Johannesburg Central South African Police Service (SAPS) station.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmigration officials were contacted for the processing of the 20 passengers who came into the borders of South Africa illegally,\u201d said Fihla.<\/p>\n

The woman who was arrested said the foreign nationals paid her R3 500 to bring them to SA.<\/p>\n

One male and one female suspect were arrested by the JMPD officers for Human Trafficking in the JHB CBD.<\/p>\n

The lady futher alluded that they transport the people from Malawi crossing the Mozambique border into South Africa.<\/p>\n

All the passengers were undocumented foreign nationals. pic.twitter.com\/A6nG9kFtVy<\/p>\n
