f our government can’t protect our kids then we, as communities, have to join hands and do it by ourselves. Human trafficking is getting worse on a daily basis and it’s our kids who are being victimised.

It is up to us to make sure that they are safe all the time when they walk along the streets.

We can’t just sit back, relax and do nothing, hoping for the law to take its course against those criminals.

These are the very same people we live with and it is up to us to deal with them.

We cannot even send our kids to a spaza shop next door because that might be the last time we see them.

We have to work very hard and try in every way to make sure we calm the situation.

Our kids must feel as safe as chickens under their mother’s wings.

They must be comfortable when they are around us.

We must be their heroes and that must earned.

We cannot even send our kids to a spaza shop next door because that might be the last time we see them. We have to work very hard and try in every way to make sure we calm the situation.
