South Africa has seen a spike in kidnapping cases in the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal are leading, with concerning levels of cases reported.

Caroline Peters, from the Callas Foundation in New York, discussed this with eNCA.

S Africa big problem no security life and whehlt no death penalty in laws
We talk about Child trafficking and it is a crucial thing, but there is a systematic mindset to this;
There has to be a spotter. A person that identifies his/her target. There has to be the knowledge of financial difficulties. Then there has to be the people that have the law on their side. See, someone may be in the market for a child, but there is also this thing of getting through the Red Tape legally. There has to be a legal firm, an accountant, a doctor that can get the child travel safe. This is not a small problem, but a huge global issue, because children are not wanted just for adoption. We are talking about the sex trade involving children. We are talking about donor organs in the underground. We are talking about the Black Arts. we are talking about child substitution – where children are indoctrinated to let in gangs and thieves. Who did she go to to sell off her child? Who approached her? How did they know? Where did they meet? What was the payment options? What was the promise? Where was the child destined to go? How where they all going to get there? It brings into question airports and crew members. A child that is kidnapped is going to scream at some point….How do we spot a tantrum from hysterical fear?
Protect those who cannot protect themselves. The voice of the voiceless. Rsa has become a very cruel evil place to live. All joke’s aside, god bless the innocent. This woman is speaking facts !
