They were fined US$30 each or 30 days in prison.
On October 23, 2024 at around 6 am the four entered Zimbabwe through Chirundu Border Post aboard a bus from Lusaka, Zambia to Harare. On arrival in Zimbabwe, they boarded a bus to South Africa.
They were intercepted by Immigration officers at a roadblock in Beitbridge where they were arrested upon failing to produce travel documents.
