Kenyans Detected Working Illegally at US Asylum Center in South Africa

South Africa has accused the US of employing Kenyan nationals without work permits at a facility processing refugee applications for white South Africans, resulting in the arrest of seven Kenyans. These individuals, who had entered South Africa on tourist visas, will be deported and banned from re-entering for five years due to their illegal employment. The US prioritizes asylum for South Africa’s white Afrikaners, a claim the South African government disputes. South Africa has initiated diplomatic discussions with the US and Kenya regarding the situation.
