Durban Metro Police's recent operation has led to the arrest of 77 illegal immigrants, highlighting the complexities of undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa.
A recent operation by the Durban metro police aimed at tackling illegal immigration has led to the arrest of 77 undocumented foreign nationals across Durban.
The operation formed part of ongoing efforts by the metro police to address concerns relating to undocumented immigrants and alleged non-compliance with South Africa’s immigration laws.
Metro police spokesperson Boysie Zungu said the operation had yielded significant results so far, with some of those detained allegedly found in possession of fraudulent documentation, which raised concerns around immigration control processes.
Among those arrested were street vendors allegedly operating without the required legal permits.
