Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The President of the National Human Rights Commission of Mozambique (CNDH) told Lusa on Wednesday that the treatment given by South African authorities to Mozambican illegal immigrants was deplorable, criticising the \u201cdisproportionality\u201d of the state agents\u2019 actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way in which Mozambicans and African foreigners in general have been treated in the current campaign to identify and expel illegal immigrants in South Africa is deplorable,\u201d said Lu\u00eds Bitone.<\/p>\n

Bitone said Mozambican immigrants who have been living in South Africa for decades have not even had time to collect their belongings or get the wages corresponding to the days they have worked, when they are caught by the authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not question South Africa\u2019s sovereign right to enforce the country\u2019s migration laws, but we demand that this is done with the necessary dignity,\u201d the CNDH president said.<\/p>\n

Lu\u00eds Bitone considered the expulsion of Mozambicans and other citizens from southern Africa by the South African authorities counterproductive, given that the region has taken steps to create a zone of free movement of people and goods.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing foreign citizens of a region that is moving towards a zone of free circulation of people and goods, it would be understandable that the authorities create conditions for legalising illegal immigrants and that they are not thrown to the other side of the border with only the clothes on their bodies,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Lu\u00eds Bitone, a lecturer and specialist in private international law, called on the Mozambican government to intercede with its South African counterpart to give \u201cdignified treatment to the immigrants\u201d.<\/p>\n

Official figures indicate that over 300 Mozambicans in an illegal situation have been repatriated by the South African authorities in the last two years in a context in which the country has recorded demonstrations against illegal immigrants as part of the so-called Operation Dudula, or \u201cpulling back\u201d in South African Zulu language.<\/p>\n

We are going to clean Germiston CBD of illegal immigrants who have turned the town into a dumping site. These people bring their lawlessness to our country. How will investors come if a town is dirty like this ? #PutSouthAfricansFirst #OperationDudula pic.twitter.com\/ESxEXZ5A8v<\/p>\n
