South Africa’s (SA) court has denied bail to the 52-year-old woman who faces charges of human trafficking and forcing young girls into prostitution.
Vuyokazi Gana, who is employed as a deputy principal at a local school, is accused of running a brothel at her house in Quigney in East London, Eastern Cape Province.
The court feared that she would endanger the lives of potential witnesses if granted bail.
The court ruled that it would not be in the interest of justice for Vuyokazi Gana to be granted bail.
She had cited health reasons as part of her bid to be released.
However, the court believes she may still receive medical care while in custody.
It states that Gana failed to meet the requirements for bail.
