I can only say it is mind blowing what is going on there.
I have worked it out that one “middle man” can make as much as R 500.000.00 per month for what they call a push. The charge R1000.00 per vehicle x 20 vehicles per day 30days per month, it is not hard to work it out.
Also what makes me so mad is when the buses come through at night from SA, with all the Zimbabweans that work so hard in SA, to send money home to there families. They way they are treated is just not acceptable. If it was not for them there families would not be able to come out.
They should treat them like people not like animals.
