Four more arrests expected in Durban human trafficking case

Four more arrests are anticipated in a human trafficking case involving a Durban businessman and his co-accused, Selvan Rungasamy Naidoo. Naidoo, 48, and the businessman, 65, were granted bail after a lengthy court appearance in the Durban Regional Court. Naidoo faces charges of human trafficking, kidnapping, cybercrime, crimen injuria, and procurement for prostitution, while the businessman faces 20 charges, including sexual assault.

The case relates to an incident in 2022 involving three young women from Johannesburg who were allegedly lured to Durban with a fake job opportunity and subsequently forced into sexual exploitation. The court imposed stringent bail conditions on both accused, including reporting to local SAPS stations and surrendering their passports.
