Job Jackson, Muhammad Hoque
Abstract:
The deportation process is currently encountering the issue of revolving door syndrome, as well as significant financial constraints that hinder its ability to accomplish its duty. This has a substantial influence on the administration of deportation in the nation. Hence, the aim of this research was to examine the efficient administration of repatriation in the Gauteng region of South Africa. This study was a quantitative cross-sectional survey that encompassed all managers within the department of home affairs in the Gauteng province. The data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire that ensured anonymity. The data were analysed using the SPSS software package. The anonymous questionnaire was completed by a total of 62 managers. The findings indicated that the existing methods for detecting illegal immigration were ineffective. Most interviewees expressed that there was a shortage of personnel conducting immigration services activities. Inadequate financing, insufficient IT infrastructure, and failure to apply the immigration laws were contributing factors to the subpar administration of deportation in the country. The reasons for undocumented immigrants coming to South Africa include being deported without their things and having family in South Africa. The study has yielded useful recommendations for enhancing the process of deportation within the province, as well as for the entire country.
