Home Affairs Official has been arrested and he was working in the Permitting Section, this is a very unfortunate turn of events but it is showing us a glimpse of the corruption which is happening in our state departments and that's something that should concern a lot of people in the country.
This means that the system has been infiltrated by these individuals who have been given that responsibility of keeping those jobs and ensuring that things are going according to plan, not taking advantage of the system in order to make some money on the side.
We’re talking about these individuals who are simply printing out identification documents for around R10,000, which is not much and is really a serious problem considering how small that amount of money is and if there are individuals who have a lot of money to pay for such documents then it becomes a serious problem.
The DHA Counter Corruption together with Hawks Anti-Corruption Unit in Pretoria arrested an official based at Permitting Section in Hallmark for landing illegal foreigners in the Movement Control System to Legalised them, so that they can apply Visas. This criminality is definitely like that and it doesn’t seem like it will be stopped at any time soon by these individuals, that is the responsibility of the authorities to step in.
As well as to ensure that these things are prevented because they definitely cannot allow the crimes to continue unabated, we are having individuals who are probably criminals in their own countries whereby they run towards South Africa and they’re basically becoming legal citizens and we don't even know how or what kind of people they are.
Counter Corruption Officials interviewed the suspect and he admitted that for each transaction received R8000, so you can see that these individuals are selling the country for such little money and it is definitely a very concerning thing to a lot of people.
It is at the expense of the safety and security of the other citizens so when these individuals receive such small amounts such as R8000, it gives a lot of people the impression that the law is really flexible and it can be bent.
The suspects were detained at Pretoria Central Police Station and he will appear on Monday at Pretoria Magistrate Court, as usual we know that the suspect will probably receive some kind of bail from the situation.
