Child trafficking fight goes beyond borders

MATOBO ward 11 community members have taken the fight against child trafficking across the borders in an effort to curb the scourge.

Child trafficking is rife in the area due to the high number of children born to Zimbabweans living and working in South Africa.

The magnitude of the issue came to light at a public meeting held by Habakkuk Trust in ward 11 last month as scores of children were reportedly smuggled into the neighbouring country without requisite documents.
