Nine Bangladeshi nationals were intercepted at O.R. Tambo International Airport on Thursday after attempting to enter South Africa using fraudulent South African visas and fake Indian passports.
According to the Border Management Authority, immigration officials detected irregularities during processing and discovered the visas were allegedly issued fraudulently through the South African High Commission in New Delhi.
Three women travelled on Bangladeshi passports, while six men initially presented fake Indian passports before later producing Bangladeshi passports.
All nine were denied entry and arrangements were made for their deportation back to Bangladesh.
BMA Commissioner Michael Masiapato praised officials for the interception, saying it highlights both the growing sophistication of international document fraud syndicates and the importance of strong border security. Investigations are continuing into the origin of the fraudulent documents and possible links to transnational criminal networks.

And they’re getting rid of legitimate companies who create jobs for them…😭😭
Four Home Affairs officials on a R25k salary per month, ran a visa scheme that made a combined asset portfolio of R16m in just one little HA office in Mpumalanga.
They sold 'study visas' to Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Somalians who run shops & salons.
Hayi ndincamile xem!
Today they're telling us that we lack skills and are unemployable.
The ANC comrades removed farming in Schools, they removed agriculture in schools, they removed bricklaying in schools, they removed Home economics in schools, they removed needlework in schools.

WATCH | March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese Zuma doesn’t believe President Cyril Ramaphosa was properly briefed about the damage that illegal immigration has done. But she says his plans are not implementable.
Julius Malema, who calls everyone dogs, devils and worse at rallies… but the moment a Black man like Ngizwe Mchunu speaks facts back at you @Julius_S_Malema , you run to the same colonial courts you love to bash. Ngizwe apologised to the court, not because he lied, but because you weaponise the law.
