He was deported to Zimbabwe last month and was escorted by immigration officials to the airport ensure he left the country. Home Affairs Director General, Mkuseli Apleni, indicated that, if Mahlangu were to be found in South Africa within the next five years, he would be arrested. Satawu's umbrella body, Cosatu, said that if Mahlangu were to be proven to have obtained South African citizenship fraudulently, he must be jailed. Cosatu spokesperson, Sizwe Pamla also said that talks between Satawu and Cosatu leaders were ongoing to find a resolution to the crises the transport union currently faced.
