Sixty-nine foreigners were arrested and large quantities of clothing seized in central Welkom yesterday in a joint law enforcement operation involving the police, Traffic Department, Labour Department and other agencies.

Police say most of the clothing, handbags, and toys were found abandoned by undocumented persons when they heard that the police were coming.

Those arrested for being in South Africa illegally come from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Portugal, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and China. Business owners were fined for employing illegal aliens.
