S Africa deports hundreds of Mozambicans, Nigerians Next
More than 400 Mozambicans have been deported
from South Africa, after authorities launched a
nationwide operation targeting illegal immigrants in
the country, officials said.
Oldemiro Baloi, Mozambique's foreign and
cooperation minister, said his government was
surprised by the deportations.
"We expected to hold talks with the South Africans to
discuss the problem, but we just saw people being
arrested," Baloi said.
The deportations come weeks after anti-foreigner
attacks in South Africa left at least eight people dead,
including at least one Mozambican national.
The official death toll is seven with South Africans
authorities claiming the murder of one Mozambican
man was a case of criminality and not xenophobia-
related.
