The Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs has called for stronger accountability measures after authorities intercepted unroadworthy buses in Limpopo transporting undocumented passengers along the Malawi–Johannesburg route.
The Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs has called for stronger accountability and consequence management against officials of the Border Management Authority and the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency following continued interceptions of unroadworthy foreign buses transporting undocumented immigrants in Limpopo.
Chairperson of the committee, Mosa Chabane, made the call while joining an enforcement operation led by the Department of Transport and Community Safety in Limpopo, together with Limpopo Police Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Hadebe.
IOL previously reported that a bus travelling from Malawi to Johannesburg was stopped near Polokwane after traffic officers found it carrying 90 passengers despite being licensed for 70.
On Monday, authorities intercepted another unroadworthy bus on the same route carrying 75 passengers, of whom 43 were undocumented.
