BMA : 30 Undocumented Ethiopians, Bangladeshis Detained for Deportation

The Border Management Authority says it will impose the Ethiopian Airlines with a R15-thousand fine per passenger after disrupting what it believes was a human-trafficking operation at OR Tambo International Airport. BMA Officers intercepted 14 Ethiopians flagged through suspicious travel patterns, and in a separate incident stopped 16 Bangladeshis found with fraudulent visas. Acting Commissioner Jane Thupana says the operations reflect intensified festive-season security as the BMA cracks down on irregular migration and organised trafficking networks.  For more on this  Bongiwe Zwane spoke to BMA Acting Commissioner Jane Thupana
