A Border Management Authority (BMA) official has been suspended after she was allegedly found with cash and six passports belonging to foreign nationals.
The 52-year-old immigration officer was arrested during a sting operation on Sunday morning.
"She was in possession of R3,700 which she could not account for and six passports belonging to travellers who were in a bus arriving from Malawi," said BMA spokesperson Mmemme Mogotsi.
Mogotsi said it is suspected that the woman was going to stamp the passports without the travellers presenting themselves before an immigration official at the Beitbridge port of entry.
"Therefore, in that regard, it is alleged that they were avoiding presenting themselves before an official. The suspects are in custody and the matter has been referred for further investigation," she said.
