‘Dress in lingerie for the Boss’: Inside the trafficking case against a Durban businessman
Told to change into lingerie for a man they knew only as the Boss, three women who thought they had moved to Durban to work at a call centre were instead ordered to strip on camera for men who paid to watch.
Three women from Johannesburg, lured by the promise of employment at a call center, found themselves in a Durban house they did not recognize. Dressed in lingerie, they were instructed to perform for men who paid to watch. During their confinement, the accused allegedly groped one woman's buttocks and another's breasts. The case against 65-year-old La Lucia man, a former policeman, includes 20 charges such as trafficking, kidnapping, and sexual assault.
The women were recruited in February 2022 under the pretense of selling SIM cards at a casino or working at a call center, a claim the state deemed false. The accused drove the women to a Durban house where they were locked up, preventing them from contacting anyone.
