Officials are continuing investigations after a group of 20 children were intercepted while attempting to cross South Africa's Limpopo River, in the direction of Zimbabwe. The operation was carried out by members of the South African National Defence Force and Border Management Authority (BMA), near the Beitbridge border post between the two countries. Officials say the majority of the minors were found without parental supervision or legal guardianship, with only one adult confirmed to be the parent of some of the children. This incident has sparked urgent concerns over child exploitation and the effectiveness of current border security measures during this high-volume post-festive season. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Deputy Commissioner for Operations in the BMA, General David Chilembe
