Illegal Immigration Centers Opening in South Africa?
South Africa and Zimbabwe are to open a border reception centre to try to curb the flow of illegal immigrants from Zimbabwe into South Africa.The office at the Beit Bridge border will help Zimbabweans get work permits. Supported by the International Organisation for Migration, it also aims to help the 2,000 Zimbabweans deported from South Africa each week. Immigration from Zimbabwe has risen amid economic collapse and a government housing demolition programme. And who, pray tell, is responsible for that? "Deportees and other people in need of legal documents the new catch phrase for "illegals", coming to a border near you! will be served food and other basic amenities while their papers are being sorted," South African government spokesman Page Boikanyo said.
