IFP raises alarm over unauthorised arrival of Palestinians in South Africa

November 21, 2025

|

The Mercury

THE Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) expresses deep concern over the unexplained arrival of more than 150 Palestinian nationals at OR Tambo International Airport last week on a flight from Nairobi, Kenya—reportedly without the knowledge of South African authorities.

While we sympathise with individuals fleeing conflict, South Africa cannot allow entry without proper documentation or adherence to immigration protocols.

It is troubling that this group did not apply for asylum upon arrival, yet was still permitted to enter the country. This raises serious questions about immigration oversight and border management.

South Africa is already grappling with a significant influx of undocumented foreign nationals, and the granting of temporary refugee status under unclear circumstances makes it unlikely that these individuals will be traced or repatriated.
