The police, on a tip-off, raided the shops in Temba, in Pretoria, and caught the shop owners, who were using the machines without the required licences.

Police spokeswoman Captain Sarah Lesabane said the illegal gambling machines were mostly operated by minors.

The shop owners were fined and later released. “They were charged with illegally operating gambling machines in their shops” said Lesabane.

We have built a new network of collaborators from this trip and have a greater sense of the cultural groundwork that needs to be done there.
