Human trafficking is something South Africa and other African countries need to pay attention to and fight, according to US ambassador-at-large Cindy Dyer.

She also highlighted the need for governments and civil society to provide services to men and boys who were increasingly falling victim to traffickers who forced them into slave labour.

Dyer is responsible for the Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons project in the US department of state and is on a visit to South Africa.
