A knee-height barbed wire fence can easily be hopped over to enter South Africa from Zimbabwe where migrants hope to find a better life but are often forced to live in poverty and face persecution.
People fleeing drought and economic strife are smuggled across or walking through border “blind spots”.
Sky News’ Yousra Elbagir speaks to those who are crossing the dried Limpopo River to get from Zimbabwe to South Africa.

There shouldn't be any borders😢
talk of negativity……
With the wealth in this world there is no reason anyone should live in poverty. Greed destroys. Jesus is returning soon.
i heard someone talking of immigrants taking their girlfriends
I worry abt women being raped. Women pliz dont mess your life by taking risks to cross borders and exposing yoselves to rape
Sadly, there is no control. They can bring with them diseases, like Ebola etc. We're so screwed.
This is BUT ONE OF THE REASONS why the qualified are moving out of SA..
But that border was never there before the invasion of the British and Dutch? The sooner we realise we are all brothers and sisters the sooner we will solve this issue.
I sorry about that women I wish I could help somehow
They must go to other countries that pamper immigrants. South Africa has enough problems of its own, one of them being the ANC.

Jah nuh run no wire fence.
A White Man in South Africa telling black Zimbabweans that they are NOT welcome. What world we are living in. Where's the black man in Germany telling a French Man that hes not welcome in Germany? God and time is the real Boss
They destroyed THEIR OWN country. Since1994 they are streaming in from the whole of the continent north of South Africa while the ANC and their followers are destroying the infrastructure that was built up for over a century
Typical.
Eish wow south Africa what's the ANC doing about it nothing because they benefit from the african nationals
From screwing up Zimbabwe, a whole entire country handed to them on a silver platter, to screwing up South Africa, a whole entire country handed to them on a silver platter. Next up is England, which they'll get handed to them on a silver platter, ripe for the screwing up.
A country without a protected border is not a country.
Hulle oppad pala pala toe om die banke te gaan haal.
Dr Shreiber is doing some good work he has some good ideas about allowing the documentation process to be digitised, so we can better track people in the country. This video does make me feel any symphathy for these people. They know its bad here but choose to suffer in a land where they are foreigners instead of fighting their oppressive and corrupt rulers. Every nation has problems yet it seems that the burderns of the entire Southern Africa has to be put on the shoulders of South Africa.
