A case against a young mother has been postponed to November 29th after making a brief appearance at Vanderbijlpark Magistrates Court.

NPA spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said that the said woman was arrested for allegedly selling her 2-year-old son to unknown individuals on November 10th, 2024.

She is facing charges of human trafficking, conspiracy to commit robbery, and making a false statement to the police.

Police say that, she on 13 November 2024, allegedly reported a false case to the police, claiming that her son had been kidnapped by unknown men in a vehicle.

Her claims were found to be untruthful following thorough investigation by the police where it was uncovered that the kidnapping claim was false.

She later confessed to fabricating the story and was subsequently arrested on 19 November 2024 and has been in custody since her arrest.

The boy’s whereabouts are still unknown.
