Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>South African authorities deported a total of 9,171 Mozambicans in 2021, mostly due to illegal immigration and stay, a source from the National Migration Service (Senami) told AFP.<\/p>\n

Most were sent back to Mozambique through the Ressano Garcia border, the busiest in the country, said Juca Bata, spokesman for Senami in Maputo province.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them entered South Africa legally, but stayed for over 30 days, the legally established time, and were therefore returned to Mozambique,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to the spokesman, 385 Mozambicans were deported on 29 December 2021 alone, 326 of them for illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

According to Juca Bata, in addition to illegal immigration, among the causes for deportation were drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, bodily harm, theft and poaching.<\/p>\n

Some of the Mozambicans were in prison and were repatriated after benefiting from a pardon as part of South Africa\u2019s response to the pandemic to relieve prison facilities.<\/p>\n

About 90 percent of the Mozambicans who returned to the country went to the provinces of Maputo, Inhambane and Gaza, all in the south of the country.<\/p>\n

South Africa is home to the largest Mozambican diaspora, with over two million living there.<\/p>\n
