The Border Management Authority's Mmemme Mogotsi says the visas found in their possession were fake. 

 

She says the group was deported immediately:

 

'The 27 Bangladeshis were found to be in possession of fraudulent visitor visas, and one Bangladeshi did not have a visa at all. The travellers were in contravention of the South African Immigration Act by possessing fraudulent travel documents."
