Johannesburg - A third man arrested on suspicion of involvement in an international human organ trafficking network is to appear in the Durban magistrate's court at 11:30, an official told Sapa on Friday.
The 58-year-old South African citizen is allegedly an important member of the syndicate, police say.
Two other men allegedly linked to the syndicate were arrested in Durban on Tuesday, and appeared in the city's magistrate's court.
Israeli Agania Robel, 42, and 49-year-old Meir Shushan, a South African of Israeli descent, were freed on bail of R5 000 and R15 000 respectively, and were ordered to appear in court again on February 10.
Both had their travel documents seized. The two men face charges under the Human Tissue Act.
