Foreigners to be deported Joburg refugees resist removal Refugees to be kicked out Govt 'ensures' safe reintegration Foreigners: We'll kill you Xenophobia: camp locked up

Johannesburg - Police have begun ushering foreign nationals from the Glenanda camp, south of Johannesburg, onto trucks to be deported, after they did not sign up for temporary identity cards.

Police were addressing the crowd through a megaphone saying: "Families must go together".

People had begun putting their mattresses, bags and other items onto the trucks.

Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was currently addressing the foreigners.

"Enough is enough... The temporary IDs are to identify foreigners and help them. South Africa has been very generous and it is only small groups of people that have been spreading wrong information about the camps," she said.

"We are appealing to all the countries of the foreigners' origin to co-operate with Government in assisting with the deportation."
