“At a separate scene, six undocumented foreign nationals were also arrested,” said the spokesperson of JMPD, Xolani Fihla.
“This serves as a stern reminder to all business owners that employing undocumented foreign nationals is illegal and a direct violation of the laws of our country.
“Compliance with immigration and labour legislation is not optional. It is a legal obligation. Let us all respect and uphold the laws of South Africa. Failure to do so will result in serious legal consequences.”
