Why are the 443 children being trafficked into South Africa?

On the 2ND of December 2023 at the Beit bridge border, the border patrol guards along with SAPS on a sting operation stopped 42 buses trying to enter South Africa with about 443 children under the age of 8 years with no adult supervision, it is believed that the children were being trafficked into the country.

Though the story is still developing it is still unclear as to why these children are being trafficked into South Africa and what was the intention. In another developing story the South African Police Service confirm to have rescued at least 33 males suspected to be victims of Human Trafficking. The victims were stashed in a house in Benoni in the East Rand of the Gauteng Province.

The rescue took place when the police where perusing a lead on a foreign nation that had been kidnapped in Springfield park in KwaZulu-Natal last week.

The investigation led the detectives to house in Benoni were all 33 victims were rescued, the ages of the male victims have not been confirmed yet as the suspects are expected to appear in court soon.
