Ten people accused of running a brothel in Table View made a brief appearance in the Western Cape High Court on Friday.
The suspects, who are also accused of kidnapping, the trafficking of minors and extorting two clients of almost R3 million, appeared for a pre-trial conference, where their case was postponed to November 2, News24 reported.
There were hopes that some of the accused would enter into plea and sentencing agreements with the State.
Juan Francois Warren, Shantelle Reyneke-Bridger, Camilla Amelia de Waal Roussouw, Fareez Allie, Achmat Toffa, Shantelle's son Robin Reyneke, Babalwa Nozigqwaba, Norman Edwin Bridger, Michael D'Oliveira and Natasha Chang were arrested in a series of raids in Parklands, Table View and Milnerton early in 2017.
Prosecutor Helene Booysen intends to prosecute the accused in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.
They are alleged to have been part of an "enterprise" which allegedly kidnapped two South African girls under the age of 18 and trafficked them. It is also alleged that they kidnapped a woman for sexual purposes.
The girls, who come from a background of extreme poverty, are understood to be in a safehouse now.
