When u've a whole lot of 50 illegal immigrants entering your country as kidnapped people...U should know that your immigration and border management system is either in total shambles and therefore beyond redemption or totally non existent...

This country is over-populated as we speak and such things are happening daily. There's is a syndicate here that's shipping these ppl into our country. And this syndicate obviously is working with our border officials. Who is policing those who are guarding our borders?

I wonder how many 'cells' are active in our communities..... We are in deep trouble fellow ZA's

Maybe it should be investigated that those aren't trained soldiers for future hostile take over of our country. 🤔 How sure are you that they're kidnapped? Do you have records from their country's missing person's cases? 🙈

Wtf is this the fuckin South Africa government is useless. We been complaining about our border but when ever this incident happens the official hide their ass call us xenophobic. HomeAffairsSA PresidencyZA zinja selling this country nx
