23 South Africans rescued from human trafficking in Myanmar

Cape Town, Mar 28 (UNI) South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) confirmed on Thursday the rescue and safe return of 23 South Africans who had fallen victim to human trafficking in Myanmar.
Clayson Monyela, head of public diplomacy at the department, said the 23 South Africans were lured to Thailand under false pretenses by an employment agency promising lucrative jobs. These jobs were advertised on various social media platforms, offering attractive salaries, free accommodation, comprehensive travel expenses, and other benefits.
DIRCO said that after arriving in Thailand, the victims were transported to Myanmar and held captive for more than four months in a cybercrime compound.
