Limpopo police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of 23 young people in a suspected human trafficking case.
The women and men, aged between 19 and 23, were found at a house in Seshego on Monday, following a tip-off.
The group told authorities they were housed there by a man who had recruited them, allegedly to sell insurance.
On Monday, police arrested a man after receiving information about alleged suspicious activities at the house.
Preliminary investigations reveal that the young men and women come from several provinces, including Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.
A foreign national believed to be renting the house was also found on the premises, and Home Affairs immigration officials will process him.
Police are now gathering evidence to determine the full circumstances surrounding the case.
