A senior government official in Mpumalanga has been arrested for allegedly being in the country illegally and in possession of fraudulently obtained identity documents

He was detained by immigration officials at Pretoria central station on Tuesday after being questioned about how he obtained his South African citizenship.

The source said it was embarrassing. “When you employ senior public officials you don’t vet their qualifications only, you also vet their identification to see that they are who they claim to be ... And here he is occupying [a] senior position in the public service ... handling quite sensitive information.”
