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.

Sing Bheki, sing. Don’t let us hold you back. Chose your pitch, and sing away. We’ll be taking notes. Let all them skeletons come crashing out the cupboard. Can’t wait.
Engenheiros na Austrália tentaram implodir esse silo de 4 mil toneladas usando 100 kg de explosivos. O plano deu tão errado que a estrutura simplesmente travou no meio da queda e virou uma versão bizarra da Torre de Pisa por 40 minutos até desabar totalmente.
⚡️⚡️They promised us Medupi and Kusile would end load-shedding forever.
What we actually got was a R400 BILLION engineering and corruption disaster that STILL can’t deliver reliable power. All while the country paid the price in the dark.
I went through every receipt, every failure, every cover-up, and every ignored warning. The full forensic breakdown is here:

Tried to drop this (Part 1/8 of the mini docuseries) last night but Eskom decided my electricity needed “maintenance” at the exact moment I hit post. Almost poetic.

This one hits different.
Read it. Watch it. Share it.
The more people who see exactly how this was allowed to happen, the harder it becomes for them to keep pretending it was just “bad luck.”

This fish is called "Dango-uo" in Japanese (ダンゴウオ).
The scientific name is "Lethotremus awae". It lives in the cold waters of Japan and it's a cute fish.
