A fifty-three year-old
Chinese national has been granted R20,000 bail in the Durban magistrate’s court
in connection with charges related to contravening the Disaster Management Act.
The man was arrested by a
multidisciplinary team on Sunday for allegedly locking up 14 employees for
several days and forcing them to produce masks in response to the demand
created by the outbreak of the coronavirus.
After a tip-off, inspectors
from the KZN department of economic development Consumer Protection Unit made
the arrest and rescued 14 workers at the firm in Glen Anil.
His next appearance was set
down for June 20.
