One of the underground businesses that is massively booming is that that of the sale of the fraudulent and fake immigration documents to the desperate immigrants coming from different African and Asian states, the demand for this documents was brought about by the the state of the South African borders, as much as it is very well known fact that south Africa is the land of milk and honey, the foreigners are flocking illegally into the country, at the later stage, these illegally people began to 0o0 and prolong their stay in south Africa by acquiring the proper documentation, in the process they end up going for the fraudulent papers as it is not easy to obtain them from the home affairs.
The illegal immigration documents manufacturers have gone too far, the people are fearlessly marketing their illegal businesses in the social media, south africa has been taken for granted by both the foreigners and the locals, the country is slowly turning into anarchy, the people are doing as they please and there’s no repercussions for their careless acts. The department of home affairs had scrapped and destroyed thousands of illegal documents in the past, but it seems like there’s way more to be destroyed. It was last month when the minister of home affairs Doctor Aaron Motsoaledi told the media that the department has destroyed more than eight thousand illegal identity documents from the Zimbabwean Exemption Permits holders, in return, the south African government gave them amnesty.
The South Africans are undergoing a very sad and painful social injustices from the outsider, the foreigners are all over South Africa establishing the businesses in the rural, townships and the cities without qualifications and documents, some of the African states are very unapologetic about the sidelining of the outsiders, some are even keeping the people in the refugee camps so that they don’t mix with the locals and compete with them.
It is because of the South African government silence that the once harmonious relationship between the locals and the foreigners is deteriorating, the South Africans wouldn’t be labelled xenophobic if the government had secured the borders like any other state in the continent.
