The laws governing travel with children are aimed at combating "an unacceptably high volume of child trafficking over the country's borders."
Who does this affect?
Anyone wanting to travel from or to South Africa with a child under the age of 18 years, parents who are traveling with their child but not their spouse and those who wish to send their child on a trip accompanied by someone other than a parent or unaccompanied.
