The Limpopo Police Commissioner has expressed concern about the escalation of smuggling of vehicles and illegal cigarettes from either the South African or Zimbabwean side.

On Friday, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe took part in a crime prevention operation on the N1 road between Musina and the Beit Bridge border post.A crime prevention campaign was carried out in Musina and the surrounding area of the Beit Bridge border post by police and other law enforcement agencies. This is due to an increase in the smuggling of stolen goods, including vehicles, from the South African side to the Zimbabwean side.

“These roadblocks are aimed at curbing the illegal crossing that is happening from us to Zim and from Zim to us. There is an illegal crossing of all stolen vehicles that cross the river, and there is a lot of illegal cigarettes traffic on this particular road. There was a 3-million Mercedes Benz that was impounded trying to cross the border.”

“I think this should be roughly more often and it should be done frequently that will stop a lot of crime and lot of problems in our community. I feel pain because we cannot work well, I came here because my driver is arrested just because of his passport. The police are preventing anything that can happen.”
