I raised this issue to the Home Affairs department during consultations for the revision of the draft white paper… The biggest issue here is that once our government refuses to send these particular individuals back to their countries, they don’t get sent into prison in South Africa, they are instead left to roam around in our communities and live their best lives while Home Affairs does nothing to keep track of their movements!!! And all this because we signed the UN Agreement… We don’t even know how many of these ppl do we have just walking around in our country?
If I go on radio and say this they will say there is no data to prove that the Zimbabwean police are assisting them to cross!!! That’s how media censorship works… I hope South Africans continue the fight
South Africans, I think it’s time we stop just complaining on X and start using the institutions available to us.
I’ve drafted a formal request asking the appropriate bodies to investigate the concerns surrounding Judge Stuart Wilson, including questions of judicial impartiality, disclosure and recusal in immigration-related matters.
I’m sending it to:
—Judicial Service Commission
—Judicial Conduct Committee
—Parliament’s Justice & Constitutional Development Committee
I’m making the template available for anyone who shares these concerns to copy, personalise and submit independently.
Template + submission details below 👇🏾
Judge Stuart Wilson the co founder of SERI who now presides over matters of Refugees and Asylum Seekers, same matters that his organisation that he co-founded represents!! Handed down a judgement claiming that March and March and Operation Dudula are Xenophobic Organisations that do not represent the Poor!! Again I ask if this is fair judicial process? When a Judge who is an immigrant himself gets to label organisations he doesn’t align with as Xenophobic??? How then do we trust the justice system, when a judge without an aota of evidence levels civic movements as xenophobic, yet the movements are expected to bring matters before him with a hope that he will discharge his responsibilities judiciously?? The Judge makes a remark without any evidence that the movements do not represent the aspirations of the poor? And how many times have they been getting away with it? Is this not an attempt to use the justice system in a quest to divide society again and operating in the same way the apartheid government did?? Are we being captured? @CrimeWatch_RSA
Why are they not arrested? We keep seeing you @DadaMorero at the streets however there aren't consequences. Revoke those contracts and arrest them, South Africans must occupy those spaces. Why are zai zais still in our country?!
