More than 380 Zimbabweans and Malawians were recently nabbed by South African immigration officials
The charges emanate from failure to produce proper documentation .
The South African police raided a 21-storey building where a host of foreign nationals were occupying at Hillbrow, Johannesburg.
South Africa Police Services (SAPS) reported that the 21-storey building in which the arrested had been occupying was forcefully grabbed from the rightful owner by some three criminals.
SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said that three suspects two women and a man were arrested for taking over the building.
The police spokesperson said
“A total of 380 (353 males and 27 females) undocumented nationals from Zimbabwe, including those caught during roadblocks and in other operations, were taken in for processing and verification of their stay in the country,”
Zimbabweans have been crying foul over the poor government approach to avail documentation to its citizens .
The country has gone for months without producing passports a situation that has left many Zimbabweans with no choice but to emigrate illegally .
