SA Immigration Officials at Beit Bridge.

From: Robert Anderson roberte@zol.co.zw

Hi Mike,

I have just had a word with a Mr Hatendi at the South African Embassy in Harare, on the subject

of the abusive, uncooperative behavior of the SA Immigration Officials at Beit Bridge.

He tells me that he is inundated with Reports about this, but unless Complainants can give the

Name of the Official and the date and time of the incident, Home Affairs Head Office, claim that

they cannot take any action on the complaint.

I suggested that what is needed is an undercover inspection by SA Home Affairs at Beit Bridge,

whereby such ‘’ Inspectors’’ can see and experience what, these nasty little people, masquerading

as Immigration Officials, are subjecting us too.

On the subject of Pensioners being granted the right to proceed to the head of a queue, he states

that the SA Constitution respects the rights of the Elderly to be treated with dignity and to be

accommodated in such instances and we should be afforded the opportunity to be served without

spending hours in a queue. The moral of the story is, stand your ground and demand your rights, not

forgetting to note the name of the Official, from their Name Badge pinned to their Shirt.

Please publish this story or the gist of it, urging Folk to record the Name of the Official and report

detail of any abusive behavior  to the SA Embassy ( Mr Hatendi ).

Regards,

Rob
