On the face of it, it costs just a few hundred rands to illegally move goods across the border of South Africa and Zimbabwe. But with hundreds of smugglers operating on either side of the Beitbridge border, it’s a lucrative source of income. South African National Defence Force soldiers patrol the multi-million rand fence between these two countries. So, how is it possible that the smugglers (also called “carriers”) continue to operate so brazenly? In this exclusive investigation, Carte Blanche takes its cameras inside this criminal network to reveal who’s really running this illicit operation.

Cart blanch does more for this country than that general does
The general knows exactly what is going on and his part of the the corruption, jeezy it's so embarrassing.
Brigadier said It is not a duty of SANDF to ensure that people don't enter SA. 🙄. Zero responsibility and Zero leadership
This is bad. As much as we are suffering in Zimbabwe this is so wrong guys South Africa has be nothing but a home away from home let's respect the laws. We're compromising & exposing SA to outside enemies.
Whoever made the fence is still rich wherever he is. A whopping 37mil fence. Yoh 💔💔💔
I love this lady she stays focused and calm even though she's watching and viewing open corruption
ZANU PF and ANC are just the same. South Africans will soon realize this.
TOO LATE VOTED IN FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS GOT NEW LICENCE TO STEAL AND PLUNDER OUR COUNTRY DRY
The General is covering up for his troops. We from Musina and we request Army and Police senior officials for lifestyle audit.
SANDF....what purpose do they actually have? This man does note deserve the rank he holds...has no clue on what his troops are doing. That is so obvious. I wonder how much money each soldier is pocketing a day while watching all this? This is a prime example of what happens when you have a sheep leading an army of lions because it is better having a lion leading an army of sheep. Those who don't know what it means have never had a single boot on the ground. This is a disgrace. Training standards have become a joke in the SANDF and the SAPS.....and that on itself is a big problem. That Carte Blanche reporter has more integrity and discipline than any of the soldiers she encountered and she was not even armed. This deserves respect. Shame on the clueless Brigadier General....so called... leader being interviewed and his fellow sheep. What did he say..."they were doing their job". Maybe just resign because a soldier with discipline, pride and integrity will NOT take a bribe. It's that simple.
They are just doing business the ANC way.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Corruption at its best in my beloved South Africa.
Horrid...sad....
That's a man devoid of intelligence and competence
And he's a general 🤣
The General clearly get s cut of the profits.
Clearly it just shows how this government continues to fail.
Brigadier: _"The smuggler does not want to get arrested, that's why he is bribing my soldiers"_
Wow 🤭🙆🏾♂️
How did this guy became a brig for sure
Bathong how is this clueless man a brigadier ?
Dude, just imagine
This Brigadier is not the sharpest tool in the shed
If he were any blunter, he'd be a complete vegetable.
hahahaha. I couldn't help but notice.
This is typical of the new SANDF !!!AAAISH 🙄
But a tool nonetheless.
The biggest problems here is Zanu Pf, ANC, EEF and the brigadier who's literally not the brightest brigadier in the universe.
does Ramaphosa watch SA news or shows like carte blanche ?
He doesn't actually care, as long as him and his fellow cadres in government continue earning fat salaries with lots of freebies and privileges. That's what politics is all about.
He would rather invent his own reality about insurrections than solve actual problems
This is what happen on every borders of South Africa,in 2017 I was crossing to Botswana legally but the member of SANDF wanted the whole taxi to pay bribe because the taxi was a bit late before they close and the even wanted to arrest me because I told them that I was going to report them as I was starting to record them
Now we know how that 'prophet' escaped.
This has nothing to do with rising food prices in Zimbabwe. People are surviving on cross-border movement of goods on both sides of the border. It is not about smuggling goods, it is about avoiding paying border fees.
This is no longer a country!
Yeah 😔it stopped been one long ago.
WOW!! The Brigadier is just as shocked as Cyril!!
Good investigating work the lady is brave and intelligent
SANDF... disappointing, but then again... S.A current leadership is the problem... and for far too long now.🤮
Please investigate driving license centre's . Rotten to the core.
Do you have license?
Crossing a border to SA is merely like crossing to your neighbours house, it's just that easy
We should just hire private security companies to guard the border
And people wonder why we have load shading and shortages of water and all, we are over populated as a country 🙄
Lets just combine the two countries.
You’re shallow minded to think that way mate, clearly you don’t understand politics
This is journalism at its finest 👏🏼
It all leads to corrupstion. People dont respect their professions at all.
If a leader of Army can speak such nonesense you know we are not safe as the country.
We must start our own civilian army...
Looks like it is the only option
That border fence is a joke.ive got better defences around my house than that 37mil border fence
How about they hire RED ANTS to patrol the border , phela those guys know how to do the job strictly
This smuggling is good for both economies......it’s just bad for the boarder laws
Please, I need to understand something. When things are smuggled out of the country, SA looses nothing. It's the recepient country that looses on tax. So are we concerned about Zimbabwe loosing on tax or what? Whose battle is SANDF suppose to be fighting?
Kwaaaaaaaaaa i give general commander 5 star ☆☆☆☆☆ he always protect his colleagues 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We are crossing to mzansi every day but we are spending millions to buy groceries. You might complain abt the way we are crossing but south Africa is benefitting a lot bcz millions of rands are coming in every day. Zimbabwe people have money but the money cannot buy in our country.
I loved this expose. Great journalism
Its sad,what's happening in Our country 😢
When my late brother was deployed at the boader a policeman he said they can pay upto 4000 rand per car. He told me his sudden presence with others who were deployed there caused the current soldiers and other boader police to halt their actions and started doing rountine checks with them. In one vehicle they found cut up human body parts been smuggled. He said he never had that much fear for his own saps people than he did at the boader. He couldn't wait to leave.
this is not funny, this is treason
no ... this is south africa.
When did buying groceries became treason
Excellent story - Please continue with this fantastic work!
If your brigadier support your wrong doing then this will continue
I used to cross over Beit Bridge regularly into Rhodesian.... the road and infrastructure was in an infinitely better condition. We as South Africa have really gone backwards.
This was great!! Pure journalism at its best.
SANDF needs to take responsibility. This is UNACCEPTABLE.
The army does their job with righteous people. With the smugglers they assist smuggling.
thank you carte blanche for making your videos available on youtube again, dankie
This is Africa and this is how it is!!! Why are surprised?
So disappointed on SADF they are so disgusting really
This brigadier must step down he doesn't do his job
I totally agree with you here this brigadier by title not by action his weak
I am sure that he is doing "everything in his power" to do just that.
ASAP
I also think that a joint operation by both the Zimbabwean and SAn governments will help alleviate this. SARS is losing so much in Export taxes and also Zim am sure is also losing so much in import taxes. If not for the safety of both nations, then let them do it for the revenue that they will both collect.
That comrade is protecting his income… the general is benefiting from this corruption trust… he is a straight comrade
Say what you want but Musina as a sub-economy is BOOMING!! If I was a person of means I would establish a retail-wholesale business there.
Border only works if both countries care.
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. When there is zero morale and discipline human natural instinct for corruption is inevitable. I won't even begin to speak about the other parts of it also.
JESUS MAY GOD HELP US
Where's the accountability from the ministry? Once again, nobody held to task... and taxpayers left with no answers... This is our money, wasted expenditure. Someone's head needs to roll! Should it not be the minister?
Clearly Brig. Gen. Mgobhozi is a vet of the struggle just like our ministers... He has no idea what he's talking about and he's not even trying.... What an embarrassment
Been reading most of the comments,I feel the point is being missed, let's analyze and understand why the situation is happening like that?most of those goods it's food,why?is our government oh the zim government creating conducive environment for people to trade much easier?just wondering u the reporter what would u do,if u where in that situation, I feel there is so much that our government can do,cause a hungry man will do anything to feed his family
Just imagine if member of your family is trafficked through the boarder u never see him again no justice
I PERSONALY WAS WORKING JUST NEXT TO THE BRIG I DID SEE EVERYTHING IT WAS SAD TO SEE PEOPLETAKING ADVANTAGE OF SOUTH AFRICA...ITS A SAD STORY
Good on you cart Blanche, good on you for being neutral and showing the truth!
i love the video title .... like anyone was surprised that border bribes was a thing
Ask Trump to teach them how to built a border wall
The same thing happens on the USA Southern Border. Lack of strong leadership is always a problem.
“SANDF budget is being cut every year” might as well cut the whole budget, clearly these guys are useless
What a focused journalist!
The General knows what’s going on at the boarder post
We need a honest caring person as our president
True I believe the Anc will remember The Late Desmond Tutu's words of wisdom after 2024.
Lol Claire was having fun with this incompetent brigadier 😂😂😂😂
General cought red handed NO PEAPLE CAMING IN AND OUT
Arrest the brig General
There's no accountability whatsoever, this is ridiculous from sandf
How is that general still in the army, he couldn't protect a piece of dirt if he tried.
Zimra is losing millions in excerise duty due to smuggling of finished goods into zimbabwe..
If the millions were collected who would benefit from them? Individuals! ... People have to make a living, at times they have to put matters in their own hands. Though we can't condone these acts we really can't condemn them either coz they are a minor act in a world with more evil and rot governments and their officials.
The government of Zim must wake up, millions is an understatement l think billions cause huge volumes of precious goods are getting their way through smugglers. On the other hand, Zimbabwe is an over-regulated country with exorbitant and discouraging duty tax and levies yet its industries cannot even produce toilet paper.
Bribes are like birds in SA its everywhere
I think the Genl is also involved in this and the fence should be taken down and a solid structure should be built
38million shoul have build a wall .Anc government is Corrupt and does not care about the future of our Country
Thank you for the report Carte Blanche. However, It misses the critical issue - Why are these people smuggling goods into Zimbabwe 🇿🇼? In some progressive regions and countries, authorities have adopted free trade or low tariffs on goods imported. The corrupt Zimbabwean government is doing a great disservice to its citizens by making our lives unbearable - ZANU-PF is the problem. What happened to the continental free trade agreement? Sad 😢 - this is poor governance!
None of the politicians wants to raise their voices in condeming corruption in Zimbabwe. These politcians are Devils to the core.
This brigadier is just as implicated as he does nothing
Cry our beloved country. Corrupt to the deepest core. The blatant ignorance of officials is sickening.
How many soldiers have reported such incidents
I love this exposing. Thumbs up to her with the questions
Brigadier General? It's obvious it's not what you know but who you know!
Will our defense force be able to protect us incase of an attack? I doubt they are capable.
Though this ain't right I feel for those individuals who have to put food on the table back in Zim .
It's rough out here . Hope zim government fix their issue so that people don't have to move around like animals just to put food on the table .
This ain't right for humanity
Zimbabwe is still under sanctions
1500 in 3 hours????? mxm bruh sign me tf up🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Imagine SANDF going to war with such type of Defense Leadership
Keep up the good work Cart Blanche
Nothing will happen to stop the cross border problem 😳😂😭
The General is a criminal who received the biggest cut...
Mgobozi Please fire all those corrupt officials and stop protecting them. This shows that the security of the country is being comprised here. Alternatively, Brig Mgobozi' should be fired if he doesn't take any action.
Then the entire ANC must be unbundled and all the cadres dismissed...they are the ones that are creating these problems....Peace Time Builders
That Brigadier is corrupt to core,,,
Great journalism from carte blanch
Bring border patrols with camera crew
This guy's are embarrassing
Top class investigative journlism.
Useless. How did he even earn a tittle Brigadier general maybe corruption
The exchange between general n Journo is interesting, hilarious at times one would think it's comedy.
