Foreign Affairs – the documentary

Report by Sungeni Chitambo

This 5 minuter aims to show the lack of human rights employed in the way the South African Home Affairs Department conducts its operations. We follow the story of Ben who was detained by Immigration Officers in Grahamstown in the worst of conditions. With the same heartless abuse of power by the police during apartheid being reflected in the way Home Affairs officials treat foreign nationals, it looks as though history is repeating itself.
