Trafficked: The raid | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟱 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
In South Africa, the smuggling of undocumented foreign nationals into the country has reached a crisis point. In March, our months-long investigation into human trafficking revealed how thousands of people without legitimate identity documents and passports are transported on long-haul buses across our porous borders before they’re trafficked by criminal syndicates. Following our investigation, police are cracking down on the criminals responsible for producing and distributing fake travel documents. With exclusive access, Carte Blanche joined an early morning police raid conducted in cooperation with the Department of Home Affairs. Their target: the suspected hideout of a syndicate allegedly responsible for forging passports, asylum seeker permits and visas.

The government should have preventative measures instead of being reactive. Govt needs to allocate more money into law enforcement, police need better salaries so they don't have to accept bribes, get the right people who love SA to do the job - not people who are there for their stomachs. Govt must partner up with private security they know their story. Please do more research on who is benefiting from the cheap labor from illegal immigration to better understand the scope of the issue.

[@Tinker8531]

You hit the nail on the head, these people are here because they guaranteed a job by those who call us Xenophobic, those who control the media and spin us stories that foreigners do not take jobs from South Africans.
