TL;DR Summary

South African border officials intercepted over 400 young children from Zimbabwe who were traveling unaccompanied on buses, suspecting them of being trafficked. However, an organization representing foreign nationals in South Africa suggests that the children were likely visiting their parents who work in South Africa for the end-of-year holidays. The buses were sent back to Zimbabwe. South Africa has seen a significant influx of Zimbabweans over the years due to economic turmoil in their home country.
