Two Verulam primary school girls allegedly linked to drug dealing and sexual exploitation

Two primary school girls in Verulam, South Africa, have allegedly been linked to drug dealing and sexual exploitation. The 13-year-old and 11-year-old girls are being investigated by authorities after being caught with drugs and reportedly admitting to prostituting themselves for "money and power". The 13-year-old, a Grade 7 pupil, provided body cam footage to the SAPS Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit, which captured her explanation of her involvement in a drug distribution network and sexual services in the eThekwini area.

The investigation revealed that the 11-year-old was being used by her father to supply drugs to school children. Both girls are still in the custody of their parents while investigations continue.
