Malawians deported from Zimbabwe
The Malawians, according to spokesperson person for Mwanza border, Pasqually Zulu, failed to produce any travelling documents and using unchartered routes.
Zulu said the 24 men and three women arrived through the border on Wednesday.
“They told us during an interrogation that they left Malawi as a group six months ago using unchartered routes between Dedza and Ntcheu heading for South Africa without any travel documents,” Zulu said.
He said travelling without proper documents and use of unchartered routes remains a biggest challenge the department of immigration and citizenship services is facing despite the department efforts to bringing services closer to people.
