Urgent call for action against human trafficking

October 28, 2025

|

Cape Argus

DURING the 2024/2025 financial year, 11 survivors of trafficking received support through shelters funded by the Western Cape Department of Social Development.

- STAFF REPORTER

This was revealed by Social Development MEC Jaco Londt at a human trafficking conference hosted by the West Coast District Municipality (WCDM), in partnership with key stakeholders, in Moorreesburg. The theme of the event was “Global Crisis, Local Action: A Community United Against Trafficking”.

A particularly impactful moment came from Advocate Zelda Swanepoel, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, who shared her insights and experiences from the Joshlin Smith case, which captured national attention and laid bare the devastating realities of human trafficking in local communities.

The event brought together government officials, justice representatives, community leaders, and advocacy organisations to confront one of the world’s most urgent human rights challenges — human trafficking.
