Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli said a task team from the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit in Graaff-Reinet made an extensive investigative work, during the investigation they uncovered cases of human trafficking and rape that came up when they were investigating a case of rape that was opened in February. 


Their investigation led them to making an arrest of a 41-year-old man from Aberdeen, who was linked to five cases of human trafficking and rape between 2020 and 2023 in Eastern Cape and other provinces.

The team from Graaff-Reinet made a breakthrough on Monday in their investigations arresting the 41-year-old man for his involvement in several serious criminal cases such as human trafficking, rape and  assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, intimidation and child labour. 

The man is due to appear in the Aberdeen Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday
