The South African Department of Home Affairs and the Border Management Authority have launched new border drones, tech and ‘deportation buses' to combat an expected surge in illegal border crossings over the festive period.

This marks the first time these have been used in tackling the country’s porous borders and marks the start of what DHA minister Leon Schreiber calls a “dramatic” expansion of tech-driven solutions.

“Our commitment to digital transformation and embracing technology is absolute,” Schreiber said at the launch.

The first set of drones will specifically be deployed to five ports of entry throughout the festive period, the minister said, giving the department “eyes in the sky” to track and apprehend illegal immigrants.

December and January are the peak periods in of movement into and out of South African ports of entry, the department noted.

“No longer will it be the case that people can move around without us having eyes on them. We want to send a very clear message to people who want to violate South Africa’s emigration laws: for the very first time, you won’t even know that we are seeing you.

“We are above you, we are around you, and we are watching for infringements along the borderline,” he said.

In addition to the drones, the Department is also implementing the use of body cameras and so-called ‘deportation buses’.

The minister said the cameras will help clamp down on corruption and ensure the safety of officials, including border guards and the defence force.

The buses, meanwhile, will be out on the roads, transporting illegal immigrants caught crossing the border back over.

“We welcome any traveller, any investor, any tourist, any skilled person who will follow our laws and help us build South Africa. But that is different from people who violate our law and don’t want to comply with our rules,” the minister said.

“You will find we have a renewed commitment to enforcing the rule of law in South Africa. That is how you create a secure country.”

The minister noted that the buses have already deported the first group of 290 illegal miners back to Mozambique.

Schreiber said this was just the start of the BMA’s use of this technology and that South Africans should expect it to expand “dramatically” in the future.

All of this nonsense you're spewing is actually protection.. Nobody's more invested in whiteness,or white people than you people.. You even risk drowning fleeing to their countries

They actually should be teaching you simpletons not to defecate in public and kill for human organ fetishes but hey the focus is on homophobic policies right? Misplaced priorities?

They are years ahead of Nigeria in of Infrastructure

some of us getts intrigued seeing them do something like eating garri as they don't do that everyday ..


But we atleast don't have them over running our country .. no single white man in power after centuries of enslavement, we're proud of that ..

Now let's talk about south Africa .. it turns out there's nothing to talk about cause they literally own the country now ...

Your forefathers suffered for nothing .. They should be wriggling with pain in their grave..

hahahaha.. A white foreign minster holding a drone is now akin to running a country..you coons never cease to amaze me

you lots apply for asylum in South Africa despite Nigeria not being involved in a war, applying to the same country "ran by whites" says a lot about the state of your zoo doesn't it? You're obsessed in being in the vicinity of whiteness or white people, that's how you roll. No single white man in power in Nigeria because you simply have no white population but you still risk dying getting to the same white countries so what's the point here really?

South Africa has a white population, the sooner you coons roll your heads around that fact the better

Nigeria is supposedly run by black people..are they doing a good job? You're effectively the giant of poverty, queuing for rice and drowning in the Mediterranean chasing the same white man to his country..

You see words reveal a lot.. The only people who use the word "white" then followed by "gods" or "white" then masters" is always Nigerians, they are your white masters or white gods... You're only projecting that worship/fascination/obsession onto South Africans, we aren't obsessed with whites like you are

Silentgroper:

That's how you see them.. Nobody is obsessed with whiteness or whites in general quite like Nigerians. it's the first thing even African Americans pick out about you .
