"South Africa: 15 Child Trafficking Cases Detected At OR Tambo Airport"
http://allafrica.com/stories/201703300740.html
"Pretoria — Since January, the Department of Home Affairs has dealt with 15 cases of child trafficking at the OR Tambo International Airport, says Minister Malusi Gigaba.
On Thursday, Home Affairs Minister Gigaba briefed the media on three cases, which involved the attempted trafficking of eight children. Two of them were South Africans.
Two of these cases, which are still being investigated, involved the use the fraudulently acquired South African documents"
The article cites 3 cases of child traffickers caught at the airport.
"On Wednesday, a Nigerian man and woman were prevented from departing the country with three children with fraudulently acquired travel documents."
" In the second case, a United States national, a woman, tried to leave the country with two South African children. When the woman came in the country, she was travelling with two of her own biological children."
"The third case involves a woman that was transiting through South Africa to Mauritius but was refused entry in Mauritius."
I sure wish it gave the name of the American woman in the second case and more details. Did she leave her two "biological" children there?
