The Hawks in the Eastern Cape have arrested two people on charges of “trafficking in persons”.
In a statement, the Hawks said two, aged 37 and 52, were arrested on Saturday and will appear in the Zwelisha Magistrates' Court on Monday.
One of the arrested is said to be an apostle.
“Hawks' Serious Organised Crime Investigation team received complaints in September last year about sexual abuse of vulnerable people, allegedly trafficked from different areas,” said spokesperson, Captain Yolisa Mgolodela.
She said it's alleged that “sick and poverty-stricken women were brought into the church mission house as if they will be assisted, instead they were sexually assaulted.”
Mgolodela said the Apostle and his female accomplice were then arrested.
