JOHANNESBURG
–
Over
6,000
undocumented
migrants
have
already
been
intercepted
at
ports
of
entry.
The
Border
Management
Authority
is
gearing
up
for
an
increase
in
arrivals
after
the
holiday
break.
Commissioner
Michael
Masiapato
says
most
illegal
crossings
are
taking
place
along
the
country’s
western
corridor.
“We
are
indeed
expecting
from
tomorrow
a
lot
of
people
starting
their
journey
back
into
South
Africa,
and
on
that
basis,
we
are
very
much
ready
to
start
dealing
with
those
aspects,”
he
said.
“Just
to
indicate
that
we
are
now
sitting
at
over
6,800
individuals
that
has
been
intercepted,
mainly
trying
to
enter
the
country
or
exit
the
country
illegally.
“And
of
course,
the
majority,
which
is
basically
in
reference
to
the
point
of
the
interception
by
our
colleagues
from
the
Defence
Force,
it
is
basically
in
the
Western
Corridor.”
