The Johannesburg high court on Tuesday convicted seven Chinese nationals and their company on numerous charges related to crimes, including human trafficking, that were committed at Village Deep in Johannesburg several years ago.

“The accused faced 158 charges, including offences such as human trafficking, labour law violations and breaches of occupational health and safety regulations,” said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane.

The accused are Shu-Uei Tsao, 42, Biao Ma, Hui Chen, 50, Quin Li, 56, Zhou Jiaquing, 46, Junying Dai, 58, Zhilian Zhang, 51, and their company Beautiful City (Pty) Ltd.

“The police received a tip-off about an illegal factory employing foreign nationals, prompting them to conduct a raid.” The factory produced cotton-fibre sheets.

After the raid, police led an investigation which revealed that between 2017 and 2019, the accused operated Beautiful City and employed 91 undocumented Malawians, including 16 minors aged between 14 and 16.

“Upon their arrival, the victims were confined to the premises under inhumane conditions, with armed guards controlling their movements. The victims were forced to work 11-hour shifts, seven days a week, without proper training or safety equipment,” Mjonondwane said.

She said senior state advocate Valencia Dube presented further evidence, calling several Beautiful City employees, mostly Malawian nationals and one South African truck driver, who testified about being deceived into working at the factory with promises of a better life.

Many had previously worked at Chinese-owned factories and were recruited under false pretences. The victims described harsh conditions, including being transported in windowless trucks to the factory, which they were not allowed to leave. They worked long hours with no breaks, were forced to work on holidays and were prohibited from bringing in food.

Personal communication was banned and they were made to operate defective machines without protective gear, leading to accidents. One worker lost a finger and was denied medical care. The factory had a high wall, razor fence and armed security, reflecting the exploitive environment, with workers often threatened with firearms and subjected to extreme control.

Judge David Mhango ruled the accused were liable for the offences.

“The NPA welcomes the conviction, as it demonstrates the dedication of law enforcement in addressing organised crime and human trafficking cases,” Mjonondwane said.

Look at these ones. They're forcing their way back into a government owned building they hijacked to trade in. Apparently its a bar. The government sealed it off to repossess.

Lmao... Wetin Dem do you?

Chinko go think say na Nigeria them dey, Nigeria where the government of the day has no regards for its people.

Them want do anyhow

This is what happens when instead of develOPing local capacity, you run all over the world desperate for foreign investment. These are the kind of investors you attract. Most of them have organized crime background and will only bring crime and problems to your country. You help them open global office out of desperation. If it’s not major company’s coming to invest, it’s desperate criminals.

I pity people that want to see China as world power

Why does the OP keep posting news about south africa here on a Nigerian website? We don't give a shit about South Africa. You guys can f(u)ck right off.

I keep telling people
I will rather have even Russia the no 1 superpower in the world than China .
Those of us know weytin sup those days for Chinese sweatshops in Ilupeju and Agege those days .
Chinese, Indiand and Lebanese ehnn
God forbid 🚫

That's why I pray China doesn't become number one Economy/Military power in the World. Blacks and Arabs will suffer in their hand, they will use debt/loans to silence our corrupt Government and plunder our resources while treating indigenous people as slaves. They don't like obeying Labour laws.

BRICS benefit them the most because they manufacture everything the other members of the organisation needs so they will always be at an advantage.

They will flood your market with cheap goods and kill your local industries.
