The vast flow of people across the Zimbabwe-South Africa border has reportedly increased the ease with which child trafficking gangs move their victims between the two countries. It is thought that these children are subjected to forced labor and sexual exploitation.
In mid-April 2009, during a spot check, police found two unaccompanied minors – boys aged about four and five – in a car en route to Johannesburg. “The woman at first said they were her children, but when I interviewed the children separately they said they did not know who she was”
