Johannesburg - Five people accused of selling a young
girl for sex appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
The matter was postponed to 29 April, a court official
said.
The Daily Voice earlier reported that the court released
Marantha Lotrict, Evelina Fortuin and Denise Muller, on R500 bail each when
they previously were in court on 1 March.
The State had requested that bail be set at R5 000 each.
The 14-year-old girl told a school friend and a teacher
in November that she was being sold for as little as R20 to men, allegedly by
her mother, Lotrict, Fortuin and Muller.
The four, as well as the mother's partner, have been
charged with sexual exploitation, human trafficking and living off the proceeds
of immorality.
The mother and her partner remain in custody.
