Adu-Boahene case: High Court judge rejects application by Atta Akyea to halt proceedings
Samuel Atta Akyea was seeking the court to adjourn the trial pending the determination of the review of the apex court's decision against the injunction filed by the Ofoase Ayirebi Member of Parliament.
A Durban businessman is set to appear in court for a bail application amidst allegations of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The case centers around three young women from Johannesburg who were allegedly lured with a fake SIM card job opportunity and later forced into sexual exploitation in a Durban property. The businessman faces a total of 20 charges, including sexual assault.
The state argued that the accused would interfere with witnesses and could face life imprisonment if released on bail. The defense attorneys have submitted their affidavits to justify their clients' bail. The matter is being heard in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, with a decision expected to be made by Magistrate Sharon Marks.
