Johannesburg, South Africa — Police in South Africa on Friday arrested more than 100 undocumented foreigners living in a house east of Johannesburg, some as young as 10 years old. ADVERTISEMENTPolice arrested them following a tip-off and invited immigration officers along, home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi told local television stations. The home affairs ministry said it had found only four passports in the house with no South African visas. Motsoaledi said that some of the foreigners were “clearly victims”, adding that a trafficking syndicate could be involved. South Africa — the continent’s most industrialised country — is buckling under a wave of illegal migration triggered by the economic woes in its neighbours.
