Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Hawks have announced a new investigation after explosive claims that a large-scale Chinese trafficking syndicate is operating in the country.
The commitment came on the sidelines of sentencing, where seven Chinese nationals were each handed a 20-year jail term for human trafficking, kidnapping and forced labour.
The group, who operated under the company Beautiful City, were linked to the kidnapping of 91 Malawians, including 37 children, forced to work in a Johannesburg factory.
Courtroom drama broke out after the verdict, when the daughter of accused number six, Nancy Xiao, alleged that her family had been framed.
She claimed that a kingpin was the real mastermind, running a syndicate that brings illegal foreigners into the country.
