OUR LAND BORDERS ARE NOT PROTECTED!!
OPEN LETTER TO ALL CONCERNED SOUTH AFRICANS Subject: The Border Crisis at Beitbridge Border Post Dear Fellow South Africans, On 16 August 2025, I travelled from Lilongwe, Malawi to South Africa using MATOURS Buses (Malawi Tours). What I witnessed first-hand at the Beitbridge Border Post was not hearsay or rumour, but a lived and painful reality that should concern every patriotic South African. This letter documents, in detail, the events that occurred on 18 August 2025, between 03:00 and 04:00 am, at the South African side of the Beitbridge border. *******ion at the Border SAPS Involvement I personally witnessed 3–4 SAPS members (including one female officer) standing next to a Toyota Corolla (registration FKM 826 L). They approached the bus operators (3–4 MATOURS staff members) and exchanged money. In return, 62 ******* immigrants were allowed to proceed unchecked into the Border Management Authority (BMA) section. Border Management Authority (BMA) & Immigration Officers At the BMA desks, two officials repeated the same ******* act, taking money from MATOURS representatives and allowing all 62 undocumented immigrants to proceed. One MATOURS representative collected all 62 passports and the cash. He then directed the group to an immigration officer, who stamped all 62 passports without checks or questions. Customs Officers At customs, whenever a bag triggered the scanner, a R300 bribe was placed behind a paper form. The customs officer would then switch off the scanner and allow the bag through. Internal BMA Staff *******ion Three BMA staff members (one older man in his 60s and two young women in their 20s) were openly complicit. The older man told the young ladies that if they looked the other way, they would each receive R600 from this bus alone. He reminded them that “more buses will cross before 6am” (the end of their shift). Again, all 62 ******* immigrants passed without proper checks. Law Enforcement on the Road From Makhado to Johannesburg, every single law enforcement stop became a bribe collection point. Depending on the officer, the bus paid R100, R200, or R300 at each stop. Not one officer stopped the bus to perform their lawful duty of protecting the country. One particularly painful encounter happened around 12:00 midday on Route 16 4S N1 (N1 21), just before Phumlani Plaza: A female SAPS Sergeant named Mmethi (slim build, braids, yellow nails) stopped the bus. She openly said to the MATOURS representatives: “You know we usually just collect the cash and let you go. But today is Monday (18 August 2025), the big bosses are with us, so I have to pretend to be working. Allow me to act as if I am checking passports.” She then took her share and allowed the bus to continue. The Bigger Picture It is important to note: Over 50 buses pass through Beitbridge daily carrying undocumented immigrants. What I witnessed was only one bus, yet the scale of *******ion was already overwhelming. This was not an isolated incident but a systemic betrayal of our sovereignty by those entrusted to guard it. An Urgent Appeal Fellow South Africans and the Patriotic Alliance, what I saw at Beitbridge is clear evidence that: We do not have functioning border control. Our borders are not protected by BMA, SAPS, or Customs. Instead, they are manned by individuals who are enriching themselves through *******ion at the expense of our country’s future. If we allow this to continue unchecked, South Africa will have no borders and no security within the next few years. This is not only a matter of ******* immigration. It is a matter of national survival, sovereignty, and security. I therefore make this urgent appeal to the Patriotic Alliance, and to every South African who cares about this country, to take decisive action and address this crisis at Beitbridge Border Post Signed, A Concerned South African 18 August 2025

Unprofessional conduct from an officer.
On Friday after we obtained legal travel documents from the Zambian embassy for a minor boy to go back to Zambia to his father(his mother who is an illegal immigrant and has abused him so the boy was placed into our protective custody by the welfare) and after receiving written consent from his father as well as from the Zambian police that his aunt may escort him back to his people the boy was detained at the border by an officer by the name of Gloria who falsely stated that the travel documents was forged. Even after we asked her to confirm with the Zambian embassy to clarify that the documents has not been tampered with she was very rude and said we must not tell her how to do her job. The boy just wanted to be reunited with the rest of his family before Christmas. Where do we report such gross negligence by an officer who is too scared to do her job properly and who is scared of the mother's threats who definitely does not have her son's best interest at heart.
