THE BMA DISMISSES CLAIMS THAT DEPORTEES ARE ENTERING SOUTH AFRICA THROUGH INFORMAL BORDER CROSSINGS
The BMA has noted claims that deportees are entering South Africa through informal border crossings and wishes to clarify that South Africaโs land Ports of Entry with the Kingdom of Eswatini are secured, with access control measures implemented at designated entry and exit points.
The BMA dismisses claims that deportees are entering South Africa through informal border crossings.
The BMA supported by other law enforcement authorities maintains a presence across the countryโs Ports of Entry and continues to conduct border surveillance and enforcement operations to prevent and detect unlawful entry, including the smuggling and trafficking of persons.
It is imperative to understand that any person who is in transit through South African Airports go through international transfers without entering the Republic. Therefore, any attempt to circumvent formal Ports of Entry is subject to detection and enforcement action.
