Begging syndicates in Durban

In his over 20 years as a private investigator, Munien has seen this script many times before. He too is well aware of the begging networks. "Just because it’s not on TV or highly publicised doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. In my experience and working on various cases - these networks are operating all around the city. I would say including the city centre and the suburbs, you are looking at approximately 700 children affected by this. Although it is very difficult to track,” said Munien.
