COMMENTARY     

Mr. Home Affairs (Pretoria South Africa)

The more recent number for refugees in South Africa are 35570. The number of immigrants has increased drastically with the turmoil in Neighbouring Zimbabwe. Up to 3 million Zimbabweans (Legal and Illegal) are in the South Africa at any given time.
