South Africa Deports Illegal Migrants, Crossings Continue on Zimbabwe Border | Firstpost Africa

South Africa is getting tough on illegal immigration. It has been carrying out deportations and has beefed up patrol on the porous borders with neighbouring Zimbabwe a country in deep economic trouble. Since the new coalition government led by President Cyril Ramaphosa came to power last year South Africa has deported and arrested more than 410,000 people at different sites. The coalition of 11 parties that campaigned on curbing migration has promised to speed up deportations. However, reports suggest that migrants continue to cross in illegally as they have found a loophole. It's the porous Limpopo border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Watch the video to know more.
