14 Zimbabwean Immigrants Arrested In Gauteng, SA After Police Turn Down Bribe From Driver
The South Africa Police Service (SAPS) arrested 14 Zimbabweans in Gauteng for travelling without proper documentation. According to the police, they arrested the 14 Zimbabweans after the vehicle driver tried and failed to bribe the police officers to let them pass.
The Gauteng police said that the 14 illegal immigrants, primarily women, had paid the driver R1500 for transportation to Johannesburg. They were all arrested under an operation which has been codenamed O Kae Molao.
In an update, SAPS announced the arrests on social media, saying:
“14 illegal immigrants traveling from Zimbabwe to Gauteng were arrested by Gauteng police during operation #OkaeMolao. The driver was also arrested for bribery after he offered law enforcement officials an amount of money for them to be allowed to go through.”

The 14 Zimbabweans are set to be deported in the next few days.
Following the post from the police, South African nationals applauded the police and called on the authorities to take tough measures against illegal immigrants. They also called on the authorities to investigate and arrest corrupt government officials who may have facilitated the movement of the illegal Zimbabwean nationals.
The person at the border who allowed them in is the one that must be arrested. Our law enforcement has a tendency of only arresting civilians while the real criminals are still out there eating corrupt money with them. https://t.co/ysTXfY7eT5

Lock them up & send them packing back to Zimbabwe. They know SAns are gullible. That’s why they bribe. I’m sure they were shocked to find different police who don’t take bribe. https://t.co/qbo9K8kSsW

People arrested like this must go to court and charged with illegal immigration and then after conviction they must be Deported. So that they have a criminal record if they come back again they get 3 year sentence, this is the only way to stop Illegal immigration. https://t.co/Ms521oOSVp

How did they cross at the border if they are only being intercepted in Gauteng? That is a very important part of the story that has been left out. https://t.co/1TJxhyzihY
