Mystery surrounds the arrival of a Covid-19 positive corpse of a Checheche man, Shingai Ndlovu, on Monday morning aboard a cross-border bus from South Africa.
It is suspected that the body could have been smuggled into the country to avoid the complicated process of repatriating a body from South Africa.
The body of Ndlovu was discovered aboard a Devine Logistics Bus from Johannesburg to Checheche, which had 16 other passengers, including his wife and child.
According to border sources, Ndlovu was not responsive during Covid-19 screening by Port Health officials, who then called in the police.
