Melusi Simelane, head of Civic Rights at the Southern Africa Litigation Centre, says the United States' third-country deportation programme demonstrates that countries in the Global North will continue to treat those in the Global South as junior partners. Simelane was reacting to reports that offenders moved to Eswatini under a third-country deportation programme had left for their home countries via OR Tambo International Airport. The United States and Eswatini signed a R100 million agreement to deport about 160 alleged illegal US immigrants. Simelane describes the move as dangerous.

South Africa is the last country to complain about regional security. SA allows these kind of things to happen every day they even reward criminals by documenting them.
Hypocrites!

Swaziland is taking advantage because of Concord verdict. They said it doesn't matter how people came in a country they must be registered without questions. We aren't protected by our own goverment

Here we go again. The two journalists aren't digging into why Eswatini accepts money. Africans, especially black Africans, don't like the truth. They should be blasting whoever takes money for evil, but instead they are going round in circles. The love of money.

This whole thing is getting sicker and sicker. What is the obsession with supposedly human rights of criminals, and I never hear about the rights of citizens to live safely without fear from these criminals 🙆‍♂️🤔

I'm sure Ministers are preparing a speech that says this is misinformation, and misunderstanding, damn they fail, but hey those ministers are not the smartest in the box.
