The Trio was apprehended between the 10th and 11th of April 2024 at the Kafue security checkpoint during a routine compliance check-up.
Immigration Department Public Relations Officer Namati Nshinka says Zulu and Severia entered the Country through Chirundu District at undesignated crossing points without passports and were arrested on the 11th of April, 2024 on their way to Lusaka.
Nshinka says Tadiwanashe was apprehended on the 10th of April 2024 after it was discovered that he had unlawfully remained in the country beyond his 30 visiting days, having entered the country through Chirundu Border Control on 30th January 2017.
He further says they have since been convicted and sentenced to pay fines of between K 2,000 and K5,000 or one and seven months of simple imprisonment.
