Zimbabwe. (News of The South) – Wednesday morning a suspected illegal migrant slipped and fell into the Limpopo River while walking on the engineer’s track.
The bridge is 540 metres long and the woman fell into the water when she was halfway along the bridge in the morning.
The unidentified woman was among a group of border jumpers heading to South Africa when the incident occurred.
According to one border official, the border jumper managed to swim across to South Africa.
Limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe could not be reached for comment yesterday.
However, he said recently that they had started with festive season operation named Zizo Jika Izinto (Things will change) to combat crimes including illegal immigrants, drug peddlers, smugglers, armed robbers, illegal firearms, and those operating shebeens.
Many suggested that this was her lucky day to have escaped crocodiles as Limpopo is usually infested with the crocodiles during this time.
