However, Gauteng police denied the accusations."This office is not aware of the allegations regarding detention of foreigners where officers take bribes," said spokesperson Col Lungelo Dlamini.
Dlamini said that once undocumented foreigners were arrested, police summoned home affairs officials to process them for the purpose repatriating them to their home countries. Msimanga said the police station was understaffed and under-resourced."The Yeoville area is overpopulated with a combination of locals and foreign nationals, which makes it difficult to conduct proper policing in the area," he said.
