African migrants line up ready to be trafficked in South Africa
South Africa is one of the many African countries that suffered immensely during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Unfortunately, things haven’t changed much in terms of ending slavery in this rainbow nation: Last year, the Global Slavery Index estimated that close to 250,000 modern slaves exist in South Africa today.
About 103,461 victims of this practice were identified to have been subjected to commercial sexual exploitation. It has also been widely alleged that the majority of wine production companies in South Africa still practice slavery.
Among the most common forms of slavery in SA include forced labor, human trafficking, debt bondage, child exploitation, and forced marriage.

No wonder many Black African people that make it into America 'cherish' the American society opportunity of freedom, the pursuit of happiness and prosperity regardless of the high odds of Black people daily encounter with America's social foundation of racism.
FREDRICK NGUGI, thanks for writing this eye opening report that I personally had limited information about prior to reading. Our race enemies persist in keeping its wicked foot of enslavement that humanly degenerates our race and kind.
