Sweatshop illegals sent home - After 14-hour days in locked duvet factory [So. Africa]

Eight illegal immigrants who were arrested while working in a sweatshop in Pietermaritzburg are to be deported once they have served short prison sentences. The immigrants were working at a duvet factory in Perth Street near the city centre, where they were locked in for 14-hour shifts a day, six days a week.
