Two girls who were trafficked and held in Malawi return to South Africa and arrive at OR Tambo International Airport, where they are received by South Africa’s Social Development Minister Dina Pule. The report indicates the girls have been away for nearly two years.
The outlets describe the repatriation as part of efforts to combat human trafficking and bring victims back to their home country. One source specifies the girls’ ages as 15 and 10, while another emphasizes that the minister receives them at the airport on Thursday. While one outlet frames the return as a “significant victory,” all accounts focus on the same event: the return and handover to South African authorities following their rescue and recovery in Malawi.
