Human trafficking charges reinstated against freed Soesdyke businessman after error

Feezal Shaw

Human trafficking charges have been reinstituted against Soesdyke businessman Feezal Shaw, months after he was freed following a procedural error.

Last year, Shaw, a wildlife trader who operates South American Unlimited, was charged with trafficking two Venezuelan men for labour.

It was alleged that between February 14th and June 14th, 2018, at Soesdyke, Shaw engaged in trafficking in persons, that is, he recruited, harboured or transported Eduaro Vivas and Jose Rodriguez for them to work and did not pay them.
