The Home Affairs Department has set up a series of roadblocks in an effort to address the challenge ofHome Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has conducted an inspection at the Port of Entry, monitoring a roadblock where undocumented foreign nationals were intercepted.“I jumped the border, I have no choice, they are sending me back to Zimbabwe and I don’t have anything. I have to follow what they want. I don’t have the documents. No ID,” says Moyo.
Close to 200 undocumented foreign nationals had their journeys grinding to a halt. Custom officials apprehended them at a roadblock that was set up strategically, to combat illegal border jumping. “This morning already 179 of them were found at the border and they were turned back, then there is another roadblock at Baobab about thirty minutes from Musina towards Makhado. There is also a roadblock, anybody who might have escaped the first roadblock . So we are putting a series of firewalls,” says Minister Motsoaledi., Motsoaledi maintains that the South African government is not going to succumb to pressure.
“I have heard this story of people who are exerting pressure, perhaps it is high time the media reminds me who are those people who are these people they are talking about who are exerting pressure and to whom.”Undocumented foreign nationals turned back home at roadblocks near Beitbridge Border Post:
Pfff.. more ANC lies!
🤣 commendable May God help SA and with wisdom guide each and every nation to develop for its citizens. I appreciate the help that Zimbabwe has got all before. Thank You MINISTER
Nigerians 🇳🇬 are in the towns and cities. Somalians 🇸🇴 Mozambiqueans 🇲🇿 and Zimbabweans 🇿🇼 are in the townships, informal settlements and villages.
Conduct vetting on all home affairs staff members because they are somehow implicated on furnishing foreign nationals with documents in exchange of money.
Well done Mr minister our country is not free for every body
They all have false documents !
Those police and home affairs officials are about to become rich with bribes. However, all the same, I u have a passport it easy to get a visa at the border so they won't find so many illegals
They should have done it years ago. Mbeki prevented them from doing it. He made it clear that there will be no refuge camps in SA, but Namibia has them.
For as long as the roadblocks are not going to be permanent, those shits wil come when they stop. Roadblocks and searches need to be a permanent thing not just for two weeks.
Do that frequently at ALL national entry/exit points..border posts from Mozambique, Lesotho, Eswatini, Botswana, Namibia and Zim....
You haven't talk about Nigerians in your process + Mozambicans/ potra de moze
He suppose to do it every time not when he likes
Those road blocks should have a dual purpose of checking for possible hijacked bakkies that are going out our borders.
Finally we’re fighting crime, and yes illegal immigrants are driving crime in SA
Salute Dr M ✊✊✊
This Minister Aaron is doing the Lord's work 🙏🏼🙏🏼
HomeAffairsSA please visit this bus station, u'll thank me later. 😏
insultmerchant
Thanks to minister of HomeAffairsSA for his effort but we need this every day, it's time governmentza allow us as citizens to get involved. Department of education, depdoflabour & deptofhealth ,must also play their part and start reject illegal immigrants PutSouthAficansFirst
beingwenceslaus
Nice one 🤣🤣 Batlogele baye gae for festive holidays then nab them when coming back , Rise Up my country,now I can Say Proudly SA.
I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to TraderMNelisi on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her TraderMNelisi
May he receive the support he deserves and may he be successful in his mission
The focus should not only be on the roadblocks, they should also deport all other illegal immigrants who are already in SA
What about lesotho bordermaputobotswana Is Zimbabwean only foreignersindia at OR Tambo also must be the main problem 🤞💔💔
Abajike
Those roadblocks wont be there in the next two weeks, next thing they will be selling fake goods around joburg and pretoria CBD and when they see a police van they run away and leave their stock there😏
ladyfireonice This Minister is working shem.
Tilly_Tetelo B4 pple complain abt 'useless police,hone affairs,border patrol etc,are you aware that SA is a signatory to many international treaties and agreements 🤝? You don't just change a law or policy. Research on the country's international policy first.
About time a good few years too late
MXM
Why only Zimbabweans there is many foreign here
I heard that even some of Zim govnmt officials transport these illegal immigrants towards the border to accompany them at night so that they can cross the border into SA. The Zim officials are also driving stolen cars that were stolen from SA. They want their people to come to SA
Good people let us also think about the other alternative routes that can be used as a port of entry in the country. Beitbridge is not the only area to concentrate on.
Too much corrupt officials
Angie Motshega must be involved schools do admit undocumented Learners, Principals do not have powers as they receive marching orders from the old Magogo
Don't forget to do same at the Lesotho boarder,.
Is this going to be a daily practice?
Minister is trying to stop a flood with his bare hands
Finally, people got to do their jobs
He msnt forget to do same thing in the street cz most of thm are alrdy here
ThaboSchoeman Arrest all those women who are marrying these foreigners and receiving R500 monthly. Give Life sentences for any officials involved in that scam and asset forfeiture to all their ill-gotten gains + their pensions. We need to be tough on this type of treason.
Well done
SA_Taxis should set up at beitbridge & Lebombo then ferry in legal migrants, every other passenger vehicle must be randomly and repeatedly stopped and searched along the route all the way to the metros
ThaboSchoeman They can even start a volunteer programme for the protection of our borders and later permanently employ those who are unemployed to man our borders. By look of things we have a shortage of soldiers on the borderline hence we have this immigration problem.
Waste of time put 🪖 on the streets of metropolitans scene ID'S and passports daily border control won't work. a passport or ID is flagged then question the individual deport if found in SA again a heavy sentence should be imposed etc 20 years in prison.
It needs to be permanent there
Why only zimbabweans that's my question
They should consider doing a lifestyle audit of gvt employees near borders especially Musina.
Maybe people should get incentives for illegal immigrants captured & arrested and then they'll work harder 😕 a Malawian once said all he needs is R400 to enter SA undocumented
Bigups, to the Minister, only legal foreigners.
Thumbs up Minister...Dankooo
Fighting symptoms will always fail. Go for the causes
Good start
Waste of time and resources !
I AM AFRAID THE ONLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SOUTHAFRICA ARE ZIMBABWEANS.NEVER MIND THE SOTHOS.MOZAMBICANS. SWAZIS .THIS IS 100% CLASS XENOPHOBIA .WHY TARGET ONE NATION. I MEAN ONE .EVERYTHING IS ABOUT BEITBRIDGE AND ZIMBABWEANS. GOD HEAR US
Well-done 🔥🔥🔥
ladyfireonice DBE_SA Schools can not register undocumented learners.....We already know that you are going to say study permits. Is ZAR havinh learning permits...?
Finally something is being done about our porous borders. God bless and protect Aaron Motswaledi. It's about time that department is overhauled to deal with issue of illegal immigrants. This is to protect our sovereign state
Foreigners is e black preson not white person. black person is chasing each other black person in this countent of africa.... what about biggest country in the whole global America hve lot of foreigners blacks end whites.....
landback_ The correct word is”illegal immigrants” not “undocumented immigrants”.
More moola to the officials 😁🕺🕺🕺
aron motsweledi its story that start to against Zimbabweans......its means its only zimbos are in south Africa only....ANC govt supporting ZANU PF .......home affairs target zimbabweans anyway chase them make sure u must baget millions money.....
He looks even sick
What about all the properties obtained with false identifications. Must be forfeited to the State
Buses carrying foreigners are entering in all entry points, they pay R100 each to enter good business for the officials making 7500 per bus or more!!!!
Until what motivated these people is resolved its a waste of resources even the officials on ground knows it. ANC govt supports it 'revolutionary friends' ZANU PF thru endorsing coups and rigging of elections. The Army shoots protesters at will like in Eswatini. They solve nothin
Hendricksnino77 I am so excited and grateful to you 🥰 Hendricksnino77 with the management of R25.500.000 and you gave us this opportunity to shine and get rich in this company, thank you very much Mr Hendricksnino77
Finally, and government should strengthen your department budget this year, keep the good work.
Roadblks must b permanent, scheduled n unannouned. We need more plans abt other border posts, Deportation of those inside the country, other's role e.g. saps, taxis etc, dept. of labor pls, n a clear campaign on how SAns can contribute e.g.they'r 'our' neighbors, our waiters etc
Keep it up Minister, I am breathing a sigh of relief in a long time. Dankie Ngiyabonga.
He needs to propose a law that will make it a criminal offense to carry undocumented prisoners on this public transport, if you do that your licence and permit should be revoked and vehicles confiscated.
A door to door in all cities would be more efficient. Start in all CBD, you will deport more than a million per day.
Very proud of this man👏👏👏
Good step, we don't want a return of Zimbabweans as soon as we start shipping them back to their country this year, siyabonga👍🏾
Suuuuuure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Build a wall Not fire walls whatever that means. South Africa doesn't have borders
I kinda feel sorry for them.
Maybe build a new 'wall'.
Domp kops!!! Go to Johannesburg CBD and the surroundings!!!!
This guy should be President
DavidMVM He is trying shem.
Siyabonga ntate motswaledi
MaenetjaWinnie
He must just not leave out MaPakistan please
Kikikikikikiki - Home Affairs officials right now.
A step in the right direction. Finally somebody is doing his work in this department.
The only minister who's doing what he's supposed to be doing.
You are happy about what minister of home affair doing .part2 you forget about 500bn part 2.2 you'll get tired because this is warm up you'll see us using all borders around South Africa you think Beit bridge is the only border to enter in this country we will show you 🤣
First things first, build refugee camps!
Please let them do it unannounced, and they must do it weeklyputsouthafricansfirst. Unemployment rate will be reduced drastically in just six moths.
Conduct raids in informal settlements and destroy empty structures.
Operation vemba bja.
Taxi people should intervene bcos non SAcan taxis /busses are collecting illegal immigrants at borders posts
The only working Minister . We salute you for put South Africa first and our safety first .
Great, they must also watch out for those who will follow Malema's advice. Last year this time he told this to them👇🏾
They need to also check all foreign owned company's tax returns, anual returns and tax history . ☝🏾
What about the millions already loitering in our streets?
Yebo baba!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Is Beitbridge the only passage for undocumented immigrants?. This is only a way to fix my innocent Zimbabweans.
Aron Motswaledi for President. AM22 must start Loading. Can we raise funds to buy him a conference of the ANC already.
errolbsk Do a door to door in Cosmo City. Strike rate, 100%
errolbsk Go minister Motsoaledi. 🙌🏾
Really ? Like all the illegals come on busses down the N1 ? Use the damn useless army we have and start patrolling borders for starters.
Have the holes in the border fence been repaired?
errolbsk This guy hates Africans
kabelodick This is xenophobia
What about Mozambique border?
kabelodick God bless you Minister.
Hope it will work .....money money money!
A caring Minister for once doing his job!! Thank you Minister Motsoaledi. We're definitely starting the year positively.
Motswaledi is really trying, it's a pity other departments aren't coming on board. If SAPS & labor department ministers can put same effort it will make a big difference.
Good news indeed
Aaron Aaron Aaron Aaron Aarooooo!!!! Go back to your office Parliament is on fire🔥🔥🔥
Are you telling them to use an alternative route Since well that is not the only route to get to SA
Coward ANC is trying to send a subtle message to Zanu pf that they no longer want to be associated with a failed state...hence targeting poor Zimbabweans as if they are the only illegal immigrants in our country. Meanwhile all Zanu big wigs have mansions in Sandton. Hypocrites!
Big up to the only MYANC man who cares about his country and her people HomeAffairsSA
They must not let anyone in till we address this mess!!
What does it help to check papers after the border? How do they get through the border if their papers are not in order?
so the undocumented it only black african that you putting roadblocks what about Chinese, Pakistani,indian and European so them are tourist
Dankie Motsoaledi
✊
Roadblocks alone won't help, there are multiple entry points along the border fence.
THANK YOU PUTSOUTHAFRICANS FIRST IF IT WASN'T FOR US PATRIOTS THEY WOULD HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO REPORT ABOUT IT
It's about time⌚, 2022 mmmmm 😜, umuntu uzothola umsebenzi awuthandayo 😂😂😂😂😂
