The South African government has announced plans to bill foreign governments for the cost of deporting their citizens who violate the country's immigration laws.
According to authorities, the policy is aimed at recovering expenses associated with detaining and repatriating undocumented migrants, as the country intensifies efforts to curb illegal immigration.
Officials said governments whose nationals are arrested, detained and deported from South Africa would be expected to cover the costs incurred during the process.
The move comes amid a broader immigration crackdown led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has pledged stricter enforcement of immigration regulations and increased deportations of undocumented foreign nationals.
South African authorities say more than 100,000 undocumented migrants have been deported over the past two years, creating a significant financial burden on the state.
The announcement follows recent repatriation efforts by several African countries. Nigeria recently evacuated hundreds of its citizens from South Africa, while Ghana also organised the return of many of its nationals amid growing concerns over anti-immigration sentiment and xenophobic attacks.
The proposed policy is expected to spark discussions among African governments regarding migration management, diplomatic relations and the financial responsibilities associated with deportations.
