The accused allegedly committed the crimes at the Durban Home Affairs office. He was based in Pietermaritzburg, but the cases were registered at the Durban Police Station and the docket was handed over to the Hawks. “The investigation was thorough and this led to the arrest of some of the foreign nationals King Shaka International Airport.

“One of the foreigners was sentenced last Friday, while others have pending cases against them,” says Mhlongo.
