@tumisole Wait until the United nations ,UNCR South africa challenges that one in concurt-you will have a different perspective.( we all know that south africa aspires to Please the western world by saying we have the best constitution in world-
@SalonBarber@Sentletse This is well documented in case law where bail has been refused or set at higher amounts for undocumented accused persons, on the basis that the court cannot be confident they will return for trial. The reasoning is procedural, not xenophobic, and it's a standard bail assessment
@SalonBarber@Sentletse What courts have said
South African courts have repeatedly noted that undocumented foreign nationals pose a flight risk for bail purposes because they lack fixed addresses, family ties, and documentation
@SalonBarber@Sentletse SAPS cannot reliably track undocumented suspects through the criminal justice system (bail, court attendance, deportation) because they lack documentation
@SalonBarber@Sentletse courts have consistently noted that undocumented foreign nationals are difficult to trace post-arrest — for bail purposes, court attendance, and post-release removal — because they lack fixed addresses, family ties, and documentation
@SalonBarber@Sentletse SAPS has repeatedly stated in parliamentary briefings that deporting undocumented offenders is logistically difficult because they cannot be "traced" to their country of origin without valid documentation.

@SalonBarber@Sentletse 1.The Detection Rate Gap (stronger evidence)SAPS overall detection rate for contact crimes is only ~52%. This means suspects are identified in only about half of all cases opened.
Fact: When suspects cannot be identified, it is often because they have no home address,
@Sentletse This is a real operational problem, and it's not xenophobic to say so. Courts have repeatedly complained about accused persons absconding because there's nothing to anchor them. So "cannot be traced" as a procedural/enforcement statement has substance behind it.
@Sentletse The part that IS true
When a person has no legal status, no address of record, and no biometric file in Home Affairs' system, SAPS genuinely struggles to trace them after arrest — for bail purposes, for court appearances, and especially for deportation after release.

@LadyM1306 South Africa can’t keep running an asylum system with no clear limits, no serious planning and no regard for the pressure it places on already strained communities. Why should asylum seekers travel thousands of kilometres to South Africa when safer neighbouring countries may
@LadyM1306 The judiciary decided the legal question correctly within its function, and
The executive and legislature have failed to do their job — designing an asylum system that works, controlling irregular entry, and funding enforcement — and are now presenting their own administrative
