The South African Police Service (SAPS) says foreigners should carry their passports with them all the time.

Police arrested more than 50 undocumented foreigners on Thursday during a roadblock as part of “Operation Okae Moloa” (Where's the Law?) in Fourways, Johannesburg.

Among them was a doctor from Iran, who was arrested for failing to produce his passport.

“Phone somebody to come and get the bike and to bring your passport. If you don't have your passport with you, you are an illegal immigrant and will be arrested and detained,” a police officer can be heard telling the doctor in a Twitter video.

Speaking on radio, SAPS Maj-Gen Mbuso Khumalo said Fourways has been identified as a crime hotspot.

“Those who know they do not belong in the country must carry their passports because [when you are stopped] at a roadblock and can’t produce [the documents] we arrest you.

“Home affairs is also around to process them. They must carry passport all the time otherwise we will arrest them for [being] undocumented,” said Khumalo.

Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi last year gave SAPS the green light to spot check foreigners to ascertain whether they were legally in the country.

“Police have the right to stop and ask about documentation. It doesn't have to be production or physical documentation like during apartheid days, meaning you are not forced to carry documents in your pocket everywhere you go.”

Documents are checked against the national population register.

“It can be done on the spot and it will be a pity if somebody has to be arrested because we have to do a manual check,” he said.

Nonsense people

Certain people from Worst Africa are gonna get deported in their millions.

They should take their SA girlfriends along to see how not ugly and disorganised that particular part of Worst Africa is, since they're the best thing since sliced bread 😕😕😕

What joy do this foreign nationals derive living in that overhype sh*thole nation? No sane being should travel to S.A in the first place, a country rated among the top coutries in the world with so many crimes like rape, xenophobia, carjacking, mug, gun violence, armed robbery etc, the HIV and murder capital of the world. To hell with Ramaphosa and his useless citizens.

This your wailing won't stop them from doing what they do. You are here ranting while more Nigerians are planning on how to smuggle themselves into South Africa.

What they are doing is for everyone's good. So they can check those who are supposed to be there. Plus most foreigners are illegal migrant with no record. The policy is quite good as long as they aren't maltreating anyone. To prove that you came in legally, ALWAYS carry your passport,or risk being detained (That's the only part I have a problem with). It's that easy.
When you open your border to all sort of people it becomes a trash site. Take the US for example! Millions of illegal migrant,and most that came in legally for a specific time frame are refusing to leave. Under that guise they can commit all sort of crime,and destroy that country with their "I don't care" attitude. Wailer, South Africans are not useless!

Are there no crime in Nigeria here, or you wan deny am?. No fix your country, dey there dey wail about another person's policy. South Africa is more developed then Nigeria. Tell yourself the truth.

I support this 100% any illegal migrant should be deported even if they are Nigerians my people. I have been saying this for long and even those caught in crimes should be deported.
Am happy they finally rise up to my long time wishes.

LMFAO, I love it when people from lawless jungles go around talking down on others as if people feel safe where they come from.

You are mad because you love chaos and detest order. You want to recreate little-Nigerias all over the globe . Your illegal japarian nature is wounded by such news because you can tell that many countries where citizens are complaining about illegal aliens will soon agitate for this policy to be implemented and/enforced in their own countries. With the WEF digital policy that will be forced down everyone's throat , they will get just that and there will be no place to hide for yahoo boys, drug peddlers and them .

Here's something interesting to ponder on ....

*South Africa is on the top three most visited countries in Africa, number one down the Sahara.
* Most of its tourist come from 1st world countries , and after holiday season they ho back to their countries and come back again when they miss our HIV, robberies,rape etc
* These 1st worlders leave their safe* countries to come here every holiday season with their kids, they have many options, over 50 never-hyped African heavens but still opt for the the worst* country in Africa
* South Africa is at the tip of the continent, no African migrant who is not from bordering countries could say they found themselves here by mistake , but they are here in their millions . They passed so many countries to get to a dangerous and xenophobic country , and they refuse to leave for safer* countries like Nigeria .

No be juju be this one .

Actually both SA women and men want SA women married to their hardworkers to go and enjoy the sweat of their men ....back home . In this way no one will accuse any group of maltreatment or hate ....its that easy. The only issue is that , out sisters don't even want to visit their new homes and their global developer husbands don't want to develop their own homes .

Here's is a thread you might want to visit to get a clear picture on why we are not bothered losing any of our dear sisters to you .....they are your wives , please take them home so that their kids will not be complaining about us like their dads .To add to that , we want them to stop emasculating you , a true African man takes a bride home to build together their papa home not the other way round
