Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi says allegations that buses transporting Malawian nationals were dropping passengers in Johannesburg instead of taking them across the border will be investigated.
Concerns emerged on social media that some buses, reportedly intended to transport Malawian nationals back to Malawi, were allegedly dropping passengers in parts of Johannesburg.
Responding to the claims, Kubayi said authorities would investigate the allegations and establish what had transpired.
“We have checked information. The buses were done outside government and IMC. All buses that departed being processed by government are escorted until they cross the border by law enforcement. None of those buses have dropped people inland South Africa,” Kubayi said.
She added that government had dispatched teams to investigate the matter.
