Graph 3- demonstrates the overall amount of people from Limpopo, Western Cape and Gauteng that were helped by the police in collecting their documents. In Woodstock, Cape Town, there was a raid on 3March where 250 were arrested.40 Based on information gained from interviews with those who were among the 250 arrested, but not taken to Pollsmoor, we estimated that less than 20 of the initial 250 ended up being transferred to Pollsmoor. Of those inside Pollsmoor, there were still some asylum seekers and permit holders who had not been released, even though they had valid documentation. A monitor was able to interview one of the 20 and was then able to refer him to the UCT Law Clinic where, on the basis of his valid documentation status, he was released. This clearly demonstrates how frequently these asylum seekers are victimised and disadvantaged. The situation affects their economic and job prospects in addition to demoralising and affecting their family and social situations. Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh, cites a recent case brought to the attention of LHR of a Tanzanian asylum seeker who, after being brought to Lindela and consulting with LHR, was deported to Zimbabwe. Kajaal confirmed that “It does happen that they deport people to the wrong country, most often Zimbabwe and Mozambique, for reasons that their screening procedures on arrival are not very good.” 41 Box #3 The racial profiling, arrest and harassment of a citizen Find below the personal account of Jaidudien Sablay, a legal South African citizen who was unjustifiably questioned and harassed by South African Immigration Officials. Sablay, a student at the University of Western Cape, was stopped by an immigration official and demanded he show proof of citizenship. Despite having his UWC identification card and his father leaving to retrieve the proper documents, Sablay was forcibly placed in the police van, verbally abused and threatened. Sablay’s traumatizing experience reflects the dangerous racial profiling tendencies of immigration officials. To Whom it May Concern: On Tuesday (13 March 2012) evening at 8.30 pm, myself, Jainudien Sablay, ID No 830911 5163 088, a friend and my father came home from the University of Western Cape, where I am doing my honours in Industrial Psychology. While walking to the shop in Hazel Road in Rylands I was stopped by a member of the Special Task Force and Home Affairs 40 Prince, Natasha. “250 held in raid on immigrants.” Cape Argus. 5 Mar 2012. http://www.iol.co.za/capeargus/250-held-in-raid-on-immigrants-1.1248943 41 Taken from interview with researcher 24
