On Sunday, 7 June 2026, a further group of 331 Ghanaian nationals was brought to OR Tambo International Airport by the Ghanaian High Commission for repatriation. Following check-in procedures, the travellers proceeded to BMA Immigration for processing.

Among those processed, 117 travellers were using Ghanaian ordinary passports, while 90 were travelling on Emergency Travel Certificates issued by the Ghanaian High Commission in Pretoria. In addition, 37 minor children born in South Africa were also processed using Emergency Travel Certificates.

BMA Immigration officials further processed 25 asylum seekers who voluntarily submitted withdrawal letters to cancel their asylum applications. During the verification process, 170 travellers were found to have overstayed their allocated period of stay in South Africa by 30 days or longer and were consequently declared undesirable in terms of Section 30 of the Immigration Act, read together with Regulation 27(3)(c) of the Immigration Regulations.

At the end of the process, 341 passengers, including 10 deportees brought by the Department of Home Affairs from Lindela Holding Facility, were cleared for departure. One traveller did not check in, but the remaining 340 boarded a chartered flight arranged by the Government of Ghana through its High Commission in Pretoria.

The repatriation of these Ghanaian nationals demonstrates effective cooperation between the Government of Ghana, through its High Commission in Pretoria, and South African authorities responsible for migration management and border security.

Commissioner Dr Masiapato commended the Port Management Committee and all officials involved in facilitating the operation. He further encouraged foreign missions to continue working closely with relevant government departments and entities to ensure the smooth and lawful facilitation of repatriation movements.

"The successful processing of these repatriation movements reflects the importance of coordinated efforts between foreign missions and South African authorities. Such cooperation contributes to effective migration management while ensuring compliance with the country's immigration laws," said Commissioner Masiapato.

[NEWS FROM THE BORDERS!!!!!]

THE BORDER MANAGEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION CAMPAIGN HEADS TO OSHOEK

The Border Management and Immigration Anti-Corruption Forum (BMIACF) will host its quarterly anti-corruption campaign at Oshoek Port of Entry on 10 June 2026. The BMIACF is chaired by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and seeks to proactively root out corruption from South Africa’s ports of entry.

The Border Management Authority Commissioner, Dr Michael Masiapato, together with the Acting SIU Head, Mr Leonard Lekgetho, Home Affairs Director-General, Mr Tommy Makhode and the Executive Mayor of the Chief Albert Luthuli Local Municipality, Cllr Mbuso Magubane, together with representatives from other government institutions, will lead the campaign. The leaders will demonstrate their commitment to fighting corruption by publicly signing a pledge to take a firm stand against corruption while also calling on officials at the border to follow their lead.

On the day, incarcerated offenders who have been sentenced on charges or fraud and corruption related activities, will share the human and financial cost of engaging in corrupt activities. Moreover, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), widely known as the Hawks will share their strategies on organised crime and corruption at ports of entry while also providing a detail on conviction statistics.
