A prominent KwaZulu-Natal businessman has been arrested on allegations of human trafficking and kidnapping, following a Hawks investigation.
The businessman was arrested at his upmarket Umhlanga home on Tuesday night after the KZN Hawks reportedly executed a J50 warrant of arrest.
His name has previously featured in investigations into alleged corruption within the South African Police Service and the criminal justice system. He was also mentioned during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and an SAPS ad hoc committee in Parliament.
Authorities have linked his arrest to allegations of human trafficking and kidnapping. Further details about the charges were not immediately available.
The businessman is expected to appear in court on Wednesday morning. Police and the Hawks have been approached for confirmation and further details.
The case remains a developing matter.
