Mpumalanga police have arrested an undocumented Zimbabwean national after allegedly finding him with more than 500 passports and R20,000 in a black plastic bag.
The passports belonged to Malawian, Zimbabwean and Mozambican nationals, and some of them had wads of cash hidden inside. It is believed that the man was taking those passports to a border gate to be stamped on behalf of their owners.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Cpt Mpho Nonyane-Mpe said the arrest came after receiving a tip-off about a Zimbabwean man driving a white Chevrolet utility bakkie with a canopy carrying lots of passports and cash.
