"A report states that child trafficking mostly occurs in areas next to the country’s major border posts. It adds that a majority of trafficked children are taken to countries such as South Africa, India and other overseas countries where they are later sexually abused or made to work in farms. The report highlights that the proposed Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Bill does not contain a provision dealing with issues of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation - including trafficking of a person for purposes of engaging in prostitution, pornography of forced marriage."
