BusinessLive reports that 95 Libyans arrested at a security training facility in White River, Mpumalanga, last month returned to their home country on Sunday morning.
According to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), the group left the country from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport on a flight paid for by the Libyan government. Charges against the men were withdrawn on Friday. They were arrested in July after police raided a Milites Dei Security Services facility in White River. The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority indicated earlier in August that the part of the facility where the Libyans were training was “illegal” and an investigation was ongoing. The suspects had been charged with contravening the Immigration Act after they allegedly misrepresented themselves when applying for “study visas”. DHA Minister Leon Schreiber indicated: “I commend the home affairs officials and other law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly to ensure an expeditious deportation. We will continue to deploy all resources at our disposal to ensure that the country’s immigration laws are respected and observed.”
