Two babies are suspected to have been traficked into the country PIC: COURTESY OF FACTRETRIEVER

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Government is currently raising two babies who have been trafficked into the country and it has proven difficult to trace their origins because of the complex nature of the vice.

The babies who are still very young, according to the principal prosecutions counsel Keletso Mfosi, have been taken away from their “suspects” mothers as the DNA has proven that they are not their biological babies.

This information was shared at a workshop on Trafficking in Person for North East District Council and Law Enforcement Officers last week in Selebi-Phikwe.
