South Africa’s Home Affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has ordered the ban of cross border Zimbabwean bus company found carrying undocumented immigrants.
He reacted angrily when a Rimbi Travel and Tours bus was intercepted allegedly carrying illegal immigrants from Zimbabwe.
Motsoaledi said the company was for the first time fined R120 000, then R165 000, followed by R45 000, and for fourth time R90 000.
“I’m really getting irritated. This company is no longer allowed in South Africa. You can’t have one company breaking the law for the fourth time and you charge them, but they don’t pay because they believe we are clowns.”
He added that the driver doesn’t have a passport.
“There’s no way in the world a bus driver would be allowed to cross a border without a passport.”
