Potchefstroom - A businessman from Potchefstroom in the North West province will appear in that town’s Magistrate’s court again on the 23rd of September after being arrested for his connection with a child pornography syndicate.
The man, who cannot be named as he has yet to plea, is one of two suspects arrested in North West for allegedly being in possession of child pornography, the other being in Lichtenburg.
Six men were arrested after police conducted 15 raids at homes across four provinces over the past week. Those held include a former headmaster, school teachers and a lawyer. Hundreds of DVDs, computers and hard drives were seized.
Police suspect the men are part of a global syndicate that manufactures and distributes child pornography. The raids followed a tip-off from Interpol.
