SA Morning Soapbox | 19,750 illegal immigrants sent home at cost of R52m

JOHANNESBURG - Government spent R52-million on deporting almost 20,000 illegal immigrants in six months.

This was revealed by Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber in a Q&A session in Parliament.

This morning on the SA Morning Soapbox we are asking if you think government is wasting money deporting illegal immigrants who find their way back to our porous borders.

We also want to know if countries of origin should be billed for the deportation costs.

eNCA senior reporter Silindelo Masikane is on the streets of Johannesburg giving people a say on our soapbox.
