 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News.

 AFRIKA MAYIBUYE MOVEMENT LEADER FLOYD SHIVAMBU CLAIMS THE FIRST UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TO ARRIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA WERE THE DUTCH SETTLERS WHO LANDED AT THE CAPE IN 1652, SPARKING FRESH DEBATE OVER THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY AND TODAY'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES


Afrika Mayibuye Movement leader Floyd Shivambu has made controversial remarks about South Africa's history, arguing that the country's first undocumented or illegal immigrants were not modern-day migrants but the Dutch settlers who arrived at the Cape in 1652 under the Dutch East India Company (VOC).


According to Shivambu, those early European settlers entered and occupied the land long before modern immigration laws existed. He also referred to later British arrivals after 1806, saying they formed part of the colonial expansion that changed South Africa's political and social landscape.


His comments come as South Africa continues to debate illegal immigration, border security, and calls from some groups for tougher action against undocumented foreign nationals.


Shivambu argued that discussions about immigration should also take historical events into account, while critics say comparisons between colonial settlement and today's immigration challenges are not directly comparable because they occurred under very different legal and historical circumstances.


His remarks have generated mixed reactions online, with some supporting his historical perspective and others disagreeing with his interpretation.
