Swartkopfontein-North West police nabbed close to 14 illegal immigrants at the Swartkopfontein Border post on tuesday for entering the country illegally.
Police said the 14 illegal immigrants are originally from Zimbabwe and they range from a 4 year-old to 44 year-old respectively.
“Police were patrolling the area when they realised a minibus was overloaded. They stopped it and conducted a search,and they discovered that most of occupants have no legal documents to be in the country” Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said.
“Only nine people out of possible 25 have legal documents. Those who did not have were arrested” he said.
It is alleged that these people gained entry by jumping a fence.
The driver of a taxi was also arrested.
