Police and members of the South African Defence Force (SANDF), who are manning roadblocks in and around Makhado in Limpopo, have arrested more than 1 000 illegal immigrants from Zimbabwe.

Police say the number of people illegally sneaking into the country through the Beitbrigde border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe has increased since the start of the new year.

Police say about 6 000 illegal immigrants have been deported to Zimbabwe since the beginning of this year - many being pregnant women who wish to give birth in South Africa so that they receive social grants for their children. Others want their children to attend schools in the country.
