Several undocumented Zimbabwean nationals are expected to appear before the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Monday following their arrest during ongoing enforcement operations in the Free State.
The arrests come after authorities intercepted a third bus transporting foreign nationals on provincial roads since the beginning of the month. The latest bus, travelling from Zimbabwe to Cape Town, was found carrying 55 passengers. Of these, 29 were undocumented, including seven minors.
Law enforcement officials redirected the bus to the Lengau Testing Centre for processing.
Earlier in the month, ten of the 16 undocumented Zimbabwean nationals arrested along the N1 also made a brief appearance in the same court.
The latest operation brings the total number of undocumented individuals apprehended in the province to 65 since the start of the month.
Authorities have indicated that monitoring and interception operations targeting undocumented migrants will continue across the province.
