💨 Abstract

South Africa's Home Affairs department is revoking over 2,000 fraudulent visas following an investigation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). The probe uncovered widespread corruption and document fraud, leading to disciplinary actions against 36 officials and criminal referrals. The scheme, valued at over R16 million, involved high-profile figures and facilitated unauthorized entry into the country. The department is also reviewing processes to prevent future abuses.
