This comes after a 15-year-old school girl from Cape Town was removed from a flight to Johannesburg by police at the weekend under the suspicion that she was going to board an international flight from Johannesburg to join the Islamic State (IS).

Minister Mahlobo said the police were alerted by the family and responsible South Africans of the disappearance of the teenager from Cape Town.

Information was operationalised by law enforcement agencies and airport security establishments, leading to the successful discovery of the teenager on a Johannesburg bound flight.
