Major South African porn ring linked to prestigious private school Lieutenant-General Solomon Makgale, a police spokesman, said the operation was the biggest of its kind in South Africa's history "in terms of the material we have obtained and the number of people we believe are involved." "The people investigating have been horrified by some of the things they are seeing, they say they are sickening," he said. The six we have arrested so far were arrested for possessing images but we are looking at whether they were involved in production, filming and editing these images, and distributing them. He said police were also investigating whether any of the children involved were South African. He added that further raids on homes, schools, legal and medical practices and businesses are planned in the coming days. Hooman Nouruzi, a spokesman for the British High Commission in South Africa, declined to go into details about the pornography ring's UK links. "Close cooperation with the South African authorities on these kind of issues is ongoing and will continue," he said. It's something we take very seriously.
