Fatigued driver dies as repatriation bus overturns on N1, exposing chaotic deportation logistics

A bus driver transporting Malawians from KwaZulu-Natal to the Beitbridge Repatriation Camp died after losing control due to fatigue, causing the vehicle to overturn on the N1 and injuring 11 passengers. The Limpopo Department of Transport confirmed the crash occurred as operators strained to meet the surge in repatriation demand triggered by the March and March movement's anti-immigration campaign. The fatality exposes the lethal gap between the political push for mass deportations and the logistical capacity to execute them safely.
