 Nelspruit police district: illegal immigrants deported/repatriated 96. Mr P G SOAL

asked the Minister of Home Affairs:

Whether any persons held at police stations in the Nelspruit police district in 1987 on suspicion of being illegal immigrants were deported or repatriated; if so, (a) to which country and (b) when was each (i) deported and/or (ii) repatriated?

 The MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS:

If, by the expressions “deportation” and “repatriation”, the hon member had in mind the removal of persons from the Republic in terms of the provisions of the Admission of Persons to the Republic Regulation Act, 1972 (Act 59 of 1972), the answer is in the affirmative. However, such removals only took place after a thorough investigation into the residential position in the Republic of the persons concerned and only when it was established that they were in fact illegal immigrants in the country. It is not possible to furnish the required information as statistics in this regard are not kept by the Department. In order to obtain such information, all the relevant records of my Department’s Regional Office, Nelspruit would have to be compared with the records of the Nelspruit Police.The magnitude of the task unfortunately renders it impossible.
