Two former Beitbridge border post officials have been convicted of fraud and corruption

Two former Beitbridge border officials have been convicted of fraud and corruption after assisting a truck full of semi-manufactured tobacco products to pass through the Zimbabwean border into SA without any clearance or documentation.

The Musina Regional Court on Friday found Nthapeleng Munyai, 47, and former clearing agent, Tsumbedzo Nemaangani, 46, guilty of fraud and corruption.

According to the Hawks, in March 2016 the truck was stopped by the Cross-Border Road Traffic Agency at the weigh bridge and the driver produced forged documents which did not match the details of the truck.

“The truck was diverted back to Beitbridge border post for physical inspection. During this process, the driver ran away and the clearing agent left the scene,” Hawks spokesperson, Warrant Officer Lethunya Mmuroa said.
