 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.

TWO ZIMBABWEAN TRUCK DRIVERS ARRESTED FOR AIDING ILLEGAL MIGRATION, NINE ETHIOPIANS INTERCEPTED IN KAZUNGULA


The Department of Immigration in Kazungula District of Southern Province has arrested two Zimbabwean truck drivers, Joel Mhenyu (53) and Pfidzai Chipuriro (36), for aiding and abetting the illegal entry of nine Ethiopian nationals into Zambia.


The two drivers were intercepted while attempting to exit Zambia through Kazungula en route to South Africa. During the operation, Immigration Officers discovered nine Ethiopian males aged between 20 and 33 concealed within compartments in the chassis of two Volvo trucks bearing registration numbers KFW 830 MP and KFW 827 MP.


The Ethiopian nationals were subsequently apprehended for failure to appear before the nearest Immigration Officer when exiting Zambia, contrary to the provisions of the Immigration and Deportation Act, Chapter 123 of the Laws of Zambia. Preliminary investigations indicate that the Ethiopian nationals had been hidden within the trucks in an apparent attempt to evade immigration controls while leaving the country.


The Department has since launched further investigations to establish the full circumstances surrounding the attempted illegal exit and the extent of the involvement of the two truck drivers in facilitating the unlawful movement of the Ethiopian nationals.


The Department of Immigration wishes to caution transporters and members of the public against engaging in activities that facilitate illegal migration. Individuals found aiding, abetting, harbouring or transporting prohibited immigrants risk prosecution and severe penalties under the Immigration and Deportation Act. Members of the public are encouraged to report suspected immigration offences to the nearest Immigration Office or through the Department's established reporting channels.
