[In Picture] On 28 February 2024, The Pixley Ka Seme District Office partnered with Provincial Traffic Inspectors, South African Police Service (SAPS), Dept. of Health (DOH), Dept. Of Justice (DOJ), Dept. of Social Development (DSD), Community in Blue (CIB) and other safety participants for the Human Trafficking and Child Prostitution Awareness Campaign on the N12 in Britstown.

This action campaign focussed on engaging a wide variety of stakeholders in becoming alert to, and challenging, child prostitution and trafficking in Britstown. The ultimate aim of the Roadblock was to eliminate the practice through engagement with Truck Drivers at the Roadblock.

The roadblock operation resulted in:

Trucks stopped - 75

Vehicles stopped - 93

Searched (both trucks & vehicles) - 55

Traffic fines - 168

The SAPS Organised Crime Unit was also involved in investigating organised crime that surrounded child trafficking. The Department is devoted to combat child trafficking by various local government conventions.
