South African authorities have arrested seven Kenyan nationals for allegedly working illegally.
The individuals entered South Africa using tourist visas. These visas do not permit the holder to work.
Police arrested them at a business center where they were reportedly employed. The specific nature of their work was not detailed.
South African law requires foreign nationals to obtain a work visa before taking a job. Violators face arrest, deportation, and a possible ban from re-entering the country.
The case highlights ongoing enforcement of the country's immigration laws. Authorities regularly conduct inspections to find individuals working without proper documentation.
