South Africa Foils Trafficking Attempt: Rescues Over 400 Unaccompanied Children from Zimbabwe

South African border officials intercepted over 400 unaccompanied children from Zimbabwe, suspecting trafficking, but an organization representing foreign nationals in South Africa suggests they were likely visiting their parents for the end-of-year holidays. The buses were sent back to Zimbabwe. Over a million Zimbabweans live in South Africa, many illegally, due to economic turmoil in their home country. South Africa recently launched a new border force to combat illegal immigration.
