Cape Town - Illegal immigrants are stretching police resources and
manpower.
The country's provincial police chiefs said in Parliament on Tuesday
that the government doesn't budget for the "millions" of illegal
immigrants who have to be policed out of sheer necessity.
Calvin Sengani, chief of police in Limpopo, made it particularly clear
when he spoke about the pressure placed on resources by the constant
influx of Zimbabweans: "They're flooding our towns and cities. They
cause a great number of problems with crime. We arrest them and
protect them with resources that are intended for our citizens."
The police station in Musina is one of the ten stations in Limpopo
where the most serious violent crimes are reported.
3m illegal immigrants in Gauteng
Limpopo has over 12 000 police officials and one vehicle for every
four officials. According to Sengani, these resources are intended to
protect the 5.2 million residents of his province, “but the illegal
immigrants aren't included in that total".
Simon Mpembe, acting chief of police in Gauteng, also told the
portfolio committee for police that there are up to three million
illegal immigrants in Gauteng.
"So there are more people to police, but we don't have enough
officials to do the extra work. We can't say we won't police them
because they come from another country," Mpembe later told Beeld.
Thulani Ntobela, chief of police in Mpumalanga, said he hopes the
SANDF can soon start helping with border security, "because in some
places there isn't even a fence".
