What happened
Recruiters were two men who approached a vulnerable teenager on her way home from school and offered her a job, then raped her, drugged her, and transported her to South Africa in a coffin. Probably knew the community since they knew she was an orphan. Had a web of contacts in various countries of southern Africa. Used false promises as a lure at her point of vulnerability.
