These are the ones they caught..what about the ones they didn't

How did they board the Qatar flight in Doha? Where were qatarairways strict security checks that we law abiding citizens are subjected to?

Just keep the doors closed for those that are just passing through. How difficult can that be?

They already entered, kanti OR Tambo is where?🤣🤣

Eight illegal foreigners caught! So what?Illegal foreigners enter SA everyday in thousands. What is so special about OR Tambo case. Or is govt trying to show-off? My advice to you guys-Go close the boarders and shut-up. We are really tired of this circus.

The Home Affairs collapse during Melusi Gigaba's time. We started having issues with Home Affairs during his time. Look now we are in shit. The guy is resting. All the KZN guys have created nothing but problem wherever they put incharge

A transit visa was always required to transit through South Africa onto a second sovereign destination and it was required to be checked at embarkation if boarding on international flights, hopefully these 8 were all deported on Qatar back to their embarkation point with a fine.

What a poorly written article.

Fucking ridiculous!

I’m sure after they smelt those toilets at OR Tambo they wanted to go back to their countries immediately

Must be something wrong, most people are trying to get out SA, not get in

BRING THAT VISA... Let's start with us all 50 Million ppl MUST produce and must prove their identity... I can tell you now South Africa has less than 30 Million Legal SAns. The rest are FAKE.

Why not arrest the millions who are in SA illegally and causing chaos .

After that HelenSuzmanFdn will be representing them
