A Zimbabwean migrant who was being smuggled from ZImbabwe
into South Africa in a suitcase could not endure the pain of the journey—and
after 45 minutes at the BeitBridge Border post, passengers heard moans coming
from the bag.
“The tall man in his early 20’s had squeezed himself into
the case and was wheeled
onto a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, disguised as his
friend’s luggage. But the discomfort took its toll after 45 minutes, causing
him to wail,” iMzansi reports. “Shocked passengers alerted authorities after
hearing strange noises coming from the unattended bag. Guards removed the case
from the vehicle at Beitbridge and were stunned when a human hand emerged.”
“It’s deeply worrying the length and breath migrants go, as
to make it to their final desired destinations—but considering the current state
of Zimbabwe, some of these people come without any prospects of a better life
for them, these risks are somewhat all they got”
