The Department of Home Affairs on Thursday during a media briefing clarified issues regarding Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir’s asylum seekers permit. 

Home Affairs Director General Mkuseli Apleni said Krejcir’s case has been considered up to the level of the Refugee Appeals Board. 

Apleni said they are dealing with him as an asylum seeker. 

"It doesn’t mean whether you are coming here with the visitors permit, you must engage illegal activities like crime.

Once you do that we will deal with you, as we are dealing with the South Africans as well that if I commit a crime as a South African, I am subjected to the laws of this country whether you are a foreigner national whilst you are here for a visitors permit or seeking for an asylum seeker or you have been granted a refuge status, Apleni added.
