Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Three Star Coaches bus driver and conductor accused of facilitating the illegal entry of 21 Malawian citizens into the country have been convicted of contravening the Immigration Act.<\/p>\n

Kudakwashe Samukange and Tafengenyasha both pleaded guilty when they appeared before Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda.<\/p>\n

Allegations were that on 4 September 2022, Samukange and Tafengenyasha picked up 21 Malawian nationals in Blantyre.<\/p>\n

Along the way, the duo gave their Malawian passengers passports bearing other people\u2019s names to ensure their entry into Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival at Nyamapanda Border Post, Immigration officials denied the Malawians entry into Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

However, Samukange and Tafengenyasha advised the 21 Malawian nationals to use an illegal entry point.<\/p>\n

The duo later picked up the Malawians after the border crossing, on the Zimbabwean side.<\/p>\n

Acting on a tip-off, police officers from Highlands Police Station in Harare mounted a roadblock at Shamva tollgate.<\/p>\n

When the bus was stopped by the police officers, the passengers produced passports bearing other people\u2019s names, leading to their arrest.<\/p>\n

Samukange and Tafengenyasha were set to be sentenced on 8 September 2022. | H-Metro<\/p>\n
