Senior immigration officer slammed by Cape judges after Ethiopian asylum seeker attempts suicide
An Ethiopian asylum seeker, who does not speak English, claims he was duped by a senior immigration official into paying an admission of guilt fine when he thought he was paying for bail.
A senior immigration official has come under fire for her"deplorable" conduct in handling the case of an Ethiopian citizen who attempted to take his own life after being duped into confessing he was in South Africa illegally, according to "This kind of behaviour from a high-ranking government official is repugnant and objectionable to the expected tenets and attributes of a person in her position and to the Batho Pele principles," the judges said.
Esyas came to seek asylum and to be with his two brothers and other family members, who were all duly documented.Esyas said the first time he was sent away because the system was offline. However, when he returned to the courtroom with the receipt, he was told Van Dyk had taken Esyas away and he would remain in custody.
