Home Affairs finalises deportation of Libyan nationals

The Department of Home Affairs says it has concluded its preparations to deport the 95 Libyan nationals who were arrested in White River, Mpumalanga, last month.

This comes after charges were dropped against 95 men who were arrested on suspicion of receiving training at an illegal military camp.

“They are scheduled to leave South Africa from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport this morning in a flight that has been paid for by the Libyan government,” the department said in statement on Sunday. 

The Home Affairs Minister, Dr Leon Schreiber, has since welcomed the swift conclusion of the deportation.
“I commend the Home Affairs officials and other law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly to ensure an expeditious deportation. 

“We will continue to deploy all resources at our disposal to ensure that the country’s immigration laws are respected and observed,” said Schreiber.

  2. Van der Merwe goes to Paris to watch the Boks take on the Brits at the world cup.

    Whilst in Paris, he walks around, gaping and staring at everything – so much so that he walks smack bang into a fire hydrant which hits him so hard on the family jewels that he has to be rushed to hospital where the doctors tell him they have to remove his testicles.

    Van goes berserk, he bites and snarls at every one and he won\’t let anybody within 10 metres of him. Eventually they find a South African doctor in the hospital and get him to talk to Van.

    He walks up to Van and tells him \”Hey Van, die ouens moet jou knaters uithaal.\”

    Van replies \”O, okay, ek dog die bliksems wil my test tickets vat.\”
