Fake passport alleged kingpin, Afran Ahmed and 26 others are expected to be back at the Krugersdorp Magistrate’s Court on Friday morning.

The group was arrested during a sting operation.

It is alleged that the 39 year-old Pakistani national, Ahmed, worked with Home Affairs officials to recruit poor South Africans who thought they would probably never need a passport, to sell their identities for R500.

The bail application for 27 suspects arrested for passport fraud, will resume:
