    Operation Crackdown, Hillbrow, Johannesburg, 2001: A man is apprehended and searched by a policeman in a bar in Hillbrow. Each person searched is asked to present his or her identification documents. Hillbrow is home to many immigrants from other parts of Africa. It is an area also known for drug dealing and prostitution. Operation Crackdown formed part of an extensive police operation, which now takes place on an ongoing basis in the fight against crime in South Africa. Part of the operation was to detain illegal immigrants.

    Lindela Deportation Centre, 2001: Before immigrants are deported, all the paperwork needs to be cleared and computerised. There have been allegations of corruption by Home Affairs officials who are responsible for this side of affairs. Many immigrants claim that they can pay these officials to get out of Lindela and then their paperwork disappears. The Anti-Corruption Unit is presently looking into these allegations.

    Lindela Deportation Centre, 2001: The average stay of any immigrant in Lindela should be between 5 and 7 days at a cost to the state of ZAR24 per day. They are given two meals a day and have access to satellite television, visiting rights, a clinic offering free medical treatment, sports facilities, a games room and a library. The Human Rights commission has compared this facility to standards similar to that of a boarding school.

This police captain is presently being investigated after allegations by the Mail & Guardian that he had alcohol on his breath, spent the majority of the train journey in his compartment, and on the way back to South Africa, shot live rounds of ammunition from the window of the train into the distance.

    Jump, 2001: The Anti-Corruption Unit is investigating the corruption that took place on the train. A few policemen were accepting ZAR100 bribes from illegal immigrants so that they could jump off the moving train whilst still in South Africa. There are allegations by the immigrants that if they decided to change their minds, and no longer wanted to jump, it was too bad and the policemen pushed them off the train. There have been reported deaths of people that jumped off the moving train.
