Lebombo Border _ BMA intersepts 14 undocumented minors

Authorities at the Lebombo Border have intercepted 14 undocumented minors attempting to cross into South Africa. The Border Management Authority (BMA) flagged the group during a routine inspection, raising concerns about child trafficking and border security. Preliminary investigations suggest the minors were traveling without proper documentation or guardianship. The incident underscores ongoing challenges at South Africa's borders, including illegal crossings and the vulnerability of children to exploitation. The minors have been placed under the care of social services while authorities continue their investigation to determine their origins and ensure their safety.
