South Africa May Impose 10-year Travel Ban On Evacuated Nigerians by bmdmix: 7:21am On Sep 14, 2019
The various obstacles reportedly imposed by the South African airport and immigration officials during the evacuation of the first batch of Nigerians that opted to leave the country over xenophobic attacks,

seems to have a strategic end-game of a travel ban. LIB reported earlier that the Air Peace Boeing 777 aircraft arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos at 9.34 pm as the 9am flight did not depart the OR Tambo International Airport until 4pm.

It was learnt that the South African Foreign Affairs ministry saw the evacuation as “a yellow card to Nigeria-South Africa relations", hence the imposition of a biometric capture of all returning individuals.

Some officials said that the biometric exercise which saw the cancellation of South African visas possessed by the Nigerians, was instituted to blacklist the evacuated Nigerians.

An official told Punch, “When you are evacuating your citizens from a country, it is like sending a strong message to that country about your relations with them. No country would be happy with the evacuation of foreign nationals from its territory. “South Africans were very strategic. We arrived at Joburg by 6.15 am.

The intention was to leave by 9 am, but after clearing about 85 out of the 313 who were scheduled for airlifting, they insisted they should do biometric capture for those who were willing to leave. “So, they had to come down from the plane and start the clearance process afresh.

Now, there are reports that if they capture your biometrics and you leave, you won’t be allowed into South Africa again or you may be barred from visiting for at least 10 years. “So, some Nigerians who planned to come to Nigeria to relax for some time and then go back eventually decided to stay back for fear of being barred from visiting South Africa, where they have investments and families.” A Nigerian foreign affairs ministry disclosed that about 135 Nigerians decided to stay back following the new conditions imposed by the immigration authorities.

He stated, “The immigration asked those who were travelling with children to present letters of consent from their spouses.

If they didn’t have the consent letter, they would not allow the children to leave with the mother. “Initially, it was 313 persons who were billed to come back with the flight, but 135 went back.

They included those who were travelling with children without letters of consent and those who did not want to do the biometrics so that they wouldn’t be barred from returning to South Africa again.

whats SA government's problem sef

your people wanted them out, yet your immigration wouldnt let them leave, and the ones that leave you threaten them with 10 years travel ban so that others wont leave

thanks to Air Peace boss and the Ambassador for resisting the stupid biometric, SA gov should always follow international treaties on imigration..

South Africa mainly rely on tourism, trade and taxation for revenue (unlike us with free crude oil awoof money), the government knows their lazy HIV sorry ass citizens (especialy men) dont work to pay tax, they merely wait for government benefits and stipends

till now no country has commenced mass evacuation except Nigeria,

Nigeria is like that student that plays all day in school but during exams he manages to pass with distinction,
South Africans just don't know how Nobel luerate writters, best professors, best doctors and nurses after indians, most richest Black human, one of the most succeesful AFCON football nation, Best Grammy wining musicians are all Nigerians lol

oops .. i forgot, african most visited website "NAIRALAND" its all nigerian

Our government has done nothing to help us as a nation. Just imagine, no coming back treatment.
Some had to stay back because they know that Nigeria did not have plans for them.

South Africa knows they hold the longer end of the stick, so it is expected they come up with this arrogant disposition of punishing the victim.
