Who are they? Where are they from? Where were they going to? What were they going for? How did they cross the border points at Mwanza, Zobue, Nhyamapanda (2 border points), Beitbridge (2 border points), numerous police check point and road blocks? What were the papers accompanying the truck indicate? What was on the cargo manifest????????????????????????????????????????

Malawi is becoming on headlines now a days! I sensed a rotten rat with this story,why no statement made about 21yr olds in the van that were questioned about their destination and where their coming from? To reflect perpetrators statements, as ofcourse the driver’s told police were Malawians, most importantly police assumed them kids were also Malawians, so many boarders to cross for the van to reach Rustenburg.

I refuse to believe that this is a Malawi police only issue. The people have passed two countries full of policemen on the roads, crossed six borders……??????….. and ended up in Rustenburg in the Northwest? Are you kidding me? From Musina to Rustenburg with the tough SA police prying the roads? This whole saga smells so don’t waste time castigating our countryalone here…… there is rot in the three countries that these people passed freely…..Let us be a people who think before we comment like headless chickens

The children look so pathetic as if they are coming from a war ravaged country where systems have collapsed but no they are coming from a country with a functioning government…….honestly we shoild reflect on ourselves whether we are doing the right things to move this country forward. These images and story coming on the heels of BBC hyena story.the killing of albinos……

These kids need to be questioned thoroughly. They could have been on there way to be trained as children soldiers somewhere when you look at the ages. Do not be short sighted by child labour and sex exploitation. Dig deeper SA/MW police there is something at the end of the tunnel. Check the ages/number/transportation. Pin them down:the culprits have something to say

Terrible, terrible. Many heads should roll for this crime. As usual, Malawian authorities failed to detect it and are now slow to respond. Then there is also the question of how all this looks outside Malawi. First we show we can’t protect our albinos, then we show we allow HIV/AIDs ‘hyenas’ to abuse our girls and women… and now we traffic our own children to SA. When will the government wake up and act to protect its people and promote positive images of Malawi… if it can find any!

Please do not arrest these three people for Human Trafficking, first investigate how have they come that long passing through two to three countries and how have they entered South African?

How many are involved in the wrong doing here? how is the security of the nations I mean any nation the truck has passed through?

I think these children are here for work? even their parents are aware of their trip there were just waiting for the news that they have arrived well. Please get me in conducting the research in this regard.
