Malawian driver involved in illegal immigrants transportation still on the run.

The search for the Malawian driver, who was apprehended last Saturday in Manica while transporting 74 emigrants, all Malawians, in a tanker  , continues.

According to Mateus Mind, spokesman for the provincial Command of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique in Manica, the driver charged each individual traveling for South Africa two thousand five hundred rands.

Seventy-four illegal migrants who entered the nation through Tete province were apprehended in Manica's Guro area.

They informed Radio Mozambique that they wanted to live in South Africa since the conditions there were better.

"We left Malawi and made our way to Durban." Each passenger paid 2,500 rand. "We were hungry in Malawi, so we went looking for better living conditions," some interviewees said.

The screening process that precedes the return of Malawian citizens is still ongoing.
