Cape Town - A mother and two other people were arrested yesterday after they allegedly agreed to human traffic her 5-day old twins for R50 a day in Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape.
The alarm was raised when members from the Gqebera Serious Organised Crime Investigation team of the Hawks received information that the mother had allegedly human trafficked her twins to feed her drug addiction.
When the Hawks visited the community, they learnt that the mother had allegedly already given the twins to a potential buyer who would pay her R50 a day to feed her drug addiction and later apply for the children’s grant.
Three suspects were arrested by the Hawks after it was discovered that a mother agreed to allegedly traffic her five-day-old twin daughters for R50 per day in order to fund her drug addiction.
