The South African National Defence Forces (SANDF) will on Monday deploy helicopters above the Limpopo river and boats to monitor the movement of illegal Zimbabweand at the border post.

The Minister of Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said he has been inspecting the Beitbridge border where he saw dozens of Zimbabweans trying to make their way illegally into South Africa.

He said the plan to monitor illegal immigrants has already started as people have been deployed to their respective areas.

The minister added that anyone who fraudulently enters SA undermining the sovereignity of SA policies will be deported.
