13 Malawian nationals deported from Zimbabwe


Mwanza border

The Zimbabwe government has deported 13 Malawian nationals who were in the country without proper documentation.

Mwanza border public relations officer Pasqually Zulu said the 13 Malawian nationals arrived at Mwanza border on Tuesday from Zimbabwe.

Zulu said it is reported that these Malawians who are all in their mid-20s, left Malawi on June 13th without proper traveling documents and they also used routes between Ntcheu and Balaka districts.

The publicist further said the 13 were apprehended in Zimbabwe whilst in-transit to South Africa and it was the Malawi embassy officials in Harare who facilitated their deportation back to Malawi using a 3star bus.

He added that during the verification exercise, it was confirmed that they are all indeed from Malawi, Mangochi to be precise where issuing of passport is currently being done.

Meanwhile, the deportees have been released and advised to follow the right procedure whenever they want to travel outside the countrywide.

The department has since warned that those involved in the syndicate that once caught they will face the long arm of the law.

Undocumented crossing of international borders by certain quarter of Malawian nationals remains a challenge to the Immigration and Citizenship Department.

This is coming despite government efforts in bringing immigration services closer to the people.

  4. The problem is the Malawi government that charges exorbitant prices on a national passport compared to any African country, why are you punishing your own citizens.
    I have never seen a caring parent that makes life if it’s children harder compared to its neighbors, such parents are not biological parents but Step parents. These people are the ones who wake up early in the morning to queue and vote for the government to be in power but the same government is screwing its citizens inform of exorbitant fees on Passports, Id’s and motor vehicles Licenses, I feel so bad when I compare with other African countries on how they charge one acquires the the same kind of documentation.
    Thts why people are traveling without documentation. There is no jobs to raise such money for one to travel.
    Think about it Malawi ??
