Desperate Asylum-seekers Are Forced To Climb Over A High Wall In South Africa by KLEINBASS: 4:36pm On May 29, 2015 |
IT’S becoming so bad that desperate asylum-seekers are forced to climb over a high wall to try and get papers. Foreigners at the feared offices of the department of home affairs in Marabastad, Tshwane told Daily Sun they can no longer afford the high cost of bribing officials to get into the premises. “They only let in a few people in the morning and then they close the gates and start demanding money,” said one asylum- seeker who refused to be named. “Those who climb the walls often manage to get papers by the end of the day.” She said that many of the applicants who are not strong enough to get over the wall don’t ever get papers despite spending nights in the queue. Daily Sun visited the Marabastad offices after a concerned Mzansi citizen wrote that the offices have turned into a playground and business spot. “Asylum-seekers go to seek help, but the staff provides no help,” said the letter. “Instead, they sit and watch them being bullied by security forces and they’re forced to pay bribes to get into the queues.” When the SunMan went there on Tuesday, people in the street asked for R100 to go through the gate. He was also told it would cost another R500 in bribes to renew expired papers or obtain new ones. The People’s Paper witnessed desperate people trying to get over the wall as quickly as they could to avoid the security guards. In recent years, Daily Sun has run several articles about the problems of refugees at the same office. The department’s Thabo Mokgala said: “The department has declared zero tolerance on corruption, and investigations will be made to bring the culprits to book.’’ He advised complainants to call the department’s anti- corruption hotline number on 0800 701 701. |

i was happy upon hearing that nigeria is the biggest economy, thnkn that dodgy nigerians will stay @ home an other african an middle east migrants will also go to nigeria . That would only hv left us with dodgy southern african migrans(mostly illigal). Dnt get me wrong i hv nothing against africans is jus south africa hv attracted dodgy african , whom after finding that south africa is nt heaven they then turn into crime. I hv hired africans in my company and there doin fine including igbos, other afrivans who are illitrate they jus add more numbers to the already existing criminals in south africa |
