BMA INTENSIFIES CLEAN-UP OF BORDER ENVIRONMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH SAPS The Acting Commissioner of the Border Management Authority (BMA), Maj Gen (rtd) David Chilembe, has confirmed that working in close collaboration with the South African Police Service (SAPS), the BMA continues to intensify efforts to root out corruption and criminality within the border environment as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening integrity, accountability and law enforcement at South Africa’s ports of entry. The BMA confirms that two officials, Msebenzi Abednigo Mgobo and Mbuso Mnisi, who were arrested in connection with alleged corruption, fraud and immigration offences at the Emahlathini Border Gate in Mpumalanga, have appeared before the Piet Retief Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, following their arrest on Monday, 2 November 2026. Preliminary investigations have revealed allegations that one of the suspects collected passports from individuals in Gauteng and transported them to the Emahlathini border gate, where the passports were allegedly stamped in exchange for payment. These allegations are serious and undermine the integrity of immigration processes and the security of South Africa's borders. The criminal case is before the relevant court and we trust in the law that consequence management will prevail. One of the arrested officials had previously come under the BMA's scrutiny following concerns relating to the processing of an individual who had been flagged on the law enforcement systems as a wanted suspect. This matter formed part of the broader integrity concerns being investigated by the Authority. “The BMA wishes to clarify that the arrests were not isolated developments but formed part of an ongoing internal clean-up process driven by its Integrity Management Unit. Approximately two weeks before the arrests, the officials were already under internal investigation by the BMA's Integrity Management Unit, which had recommended that appropriate disciplinary action be instituted against them. The matter had also been referred to SAPS for criminal processing. The subsequent arrests therefore coincided with an already established process of addressing suspected corruption within the Authority, demonstrating the importance of cooperation between the BMA and SAPS in confronting criminality within the border environment”, Acting Commissioner David Chilembe said. The Authority further confirms that the internal investigation against the implicated officials has been finalised and the disciplinary process will be instituted. The BMA reiterates that it will not tolerate corruption, abuse of authority or any conduct that undermines the integrity of border management operations. Officials entrusted with securing the country's borders are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and accountability. Working alongside SAPS and other law enforcement agencies, the BMA remains committed to continuously cleaning up the border environment, strengthening internal controls and ensuring that those who engage in corrupt activities face the consequences of their actions. “The Authority will continue to pursue all credible allegations of corruption through its internal disciplinary mechanisms and in collaboration with law enforcement agencies. These efforts form part of the BMA's broader commitment to building a professional, ethical and corruption-free border management environment”, added Acting Commissioner David Chilembe.

NPA SECURES 20-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR STOKVEL ARMED ROBBER @NPA_Prosecutes The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the Nkowankowa Magistrate's Court's effective 20-year direct imprisonment sentence for Matimba Power Oscar Nhlangwana (25) on two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances. The conviction stems from an incident on 14 June 2023 in Myakayaka village, outside Tzaneen. Nhlangwana and two accomplices targeted a local stokvel gathering where members were counting their monthly financial contributions. The victims were held at gunpoint and robbed of R12 000. The State subsequently opened a case of robbery with aggravating circumstances, leading to Nhlangwana’s arrest and prosecution. In aggravation of sentence, State Prosecutor Lerato Thandy Madia argued that the victims had been robbed of their hard-earned communal savings. Madia further submitted that there were no substantial and compelling circumstances justifying a deviation from the prescribed minimum sentence of 15 years' direct imprisonment on each count. The court sentenced Nhlangwana to 15 years' direct imprisonment on each count. It ordered that 10 years of the sentence imposed on count two run concurrently with the 15-year sentence on count one, resulting in an effective sentence of 20 years' direct imprisonment. Welcoming the sentence, the Director of Public Prosecutions in Limpopo, Advocate Ivy Thenga, expressed hope that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to would-be offenders who target stokvels and other community savings initiatives. Advocate Thenga also commended the prosecutor and investigating team for their diligent work in securing the conviction and sentence.
