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.
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.’’
