A TEENAGE girl survived being human trafficked after jumping out of a moving car on Wednesday, 28 June.
The girl's family told Daily Sun she was kidnapped on 23 June by three unknown men on her way back from school in Sebokeng, Vaal.
The family said their daughter told them a car with three Sotho-speaking men drove slowly next to her. They asked for her cellphone number, but she told them she didn't have a phone. They then asked her what her name was, but she refused to tell them her name.
The family said one of them men got out of the car and hit her with something on her head. She fell down and the men carried her to the boot of the car.
"They drove off to a house in Vanderbijlpark where she found other young girls. She was injected with drugs as she was crying," a family member said.

According to the girl, she was fed drugs on Wednesday, 28 June by her kidnappers. She said they told her and another girl they were going to be transferred to another house in Joburg where they would be making more money for big bosses.
The girl said when they got to the car, they made a deal that when the car stopped, they'd open the doors and run away - and that's how she survived.
She said that as the car passed around Bophelong towards the Golden Highway, approaching the stop sign during the day, she opened the door of the moving vehicle. She fell off and ran to the nearby taxi rank where she was assisted.
"After I ran off, the car drove away," she said in tears.
"I don't know what happened to other girl who was with me in that car. When I was running, I did not look back. I was scared."
Her older sister said she wanted to thank the taxi drivers and the people who helped her sister after falling out from the moving car.
Police spokeswoman Sergeant Gertrude Makgale said that cops were investigating a case of kidnapping, and no one has been arrested.
