The situation was chaotic at Beitbridge border post yesterday when returning Zimbabweans complained they were “tortured” in fiery heat while waiting to be served.
“The situation at Beitbridge border-post is inhumane. Close to 35 buses excluding cars and kombis waiting to be cleared for more than (2)two hours and we have not moved more than 10 metres,” one source told ZimEye
Children, the disabled and the elderly were left in the sunny furnace for hours with no hope in sight.
“We all know there’s a heat wave, there aren’t enough toilets: children, the disabled and elderly will suffer and more affected.
“We are abused wherever we go but it’s heartbreaking and cruel when our own are the perpetrators,” they said.
They continued, “is it wrong to visit another nation and bring home some goodies then be penalised? Zimbabwe we need to treat each other better. Can the parent ministry do something now…”
Meanwhile attempts to obtain a comment from immigration and Zimra bosses were fruitless by the time of going to print.
