On Saturday, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) intercepted four haulage trucks belonging to Blue Star carrying a variety of smuggled goods and 21 border jumpers. The trucks were travelling from South Africa via Beitbridge Border Post and had been declared to be empty.
A Zimra source who spoke to The Herald on condition of anonymity said:
An alert customs officer intercepted the trucks and took them for scanning and searching, leading to the discovery of an assortment of restricted goods and 21 border jumpers. The trucks and the goods were in turn seized by Zimra, while the illegal immigrants, all Zimbabweans, were taken to the Department of Immigration for further management.
