Seven Kenyans who had visas to work on processing applications of refugees to the US were arrested in Johannesburg on Tuesday for doing the work illegally.
Home affairs spokesperson Carli van Wyk said the arrest followed intelligence reports which indicated that a number of Kenyan nationals had recently entered SA on tourist visas and had illegally taken up work at a centre processing the applications of so-called refugees to the US.
Seven Kenyan nationals were discovered engaging in work despite only being in possession of tourist visas, in clear violation of their conditions of entry into SA.
