Estelle Lotter and her three-year-old son, Caleb have been living in a detention facility in Chongqing since August.
CAPE TOWN - A woman who’s been detained in China for more than eight months has finally touched down in South Africa.
She was arrested for not having a working visa which is what her fraudulent recruitment agency promised her. She explains why she initially went to the East-Asian country: “I wanted to make a better future for my son. Education wise, living cost, everything was better in China, there was no crime but the whole investigation has made it worse for me.”“Clean air, clean water and beautiful nature and being around people who understand me.”
She’ll be staying overnight in Johannesburg with her father Anthony Salzwedel, after which she’ll fly home to East London on Saturday afternoon.
