NPA calls for victims of global scam to come forward
Cape Times
|February 24, 2026
HUSBAND and wife, Yolanda and Adam Douglas, who face four counts of human trafficking will return to court for a formal bail application on Thursday.
The couple made their first appearance in the Bellville Magistrates Court yesterday after they were arrested by the Hawks’ Western Cape Economic Protected Resources team on Saturday. They are accused of luring four victims on a fake work opportunity to Thailand, where they were held against their will. The two will remain in police custody until Thursday, after the matter was postponed due to their bail profile still being outstanding.
National Spokesperson Authority (NPA) spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the charges correlate to cases dating back to 2024 and 2025, where the State alleges that they recruited young people from the Scottsdene, Kraaifontein area with promises of jobs in Thailand.
