The Police in South Africa’s north-eastern province of Limpopo have intercepted 133 people suspected to be human trafficking victims.

The group, which was made up of both children and adults, was being transported in 10 minibus taxis.

It is the third such announcement since last weekend.

On Sunday, authorities in Limpopo, which borders Zimbabwe, said they had intercepted more than 400 unaccompanied minors who had been brought in from Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwean authorities have since denied this account, saying there were only 124 children.
