Jun 1, 2026

The Border Management Authority intercepted narcotic ingredients worth an estimated R1 billion at the Beitbridge Port of Entry hidden in a truck traveling from Malawi into South Africa. Three foreign nationals appeared in the Musina Magistrates Court on Friday in connection with the bust.

The incident has reignited urgent concerns around:

  • Porous borders
  • Corruption at ports of entry
  • Cross-border organised crime
  • Unroadworthy buses transporting undocumented migrants

Joining the discussion on SABC News is Professor Loren Landau (Senior Researcher, African Centre for Migration & Society, Wits University).
