Man shows off asylum documents and says his paperwork is staying in South Africa

A foreign citizen is shown proudly holding what seem to be legitimate papers from the South African government, which affirm his authorised refugee status. He adamantly states that his documentation would not be rejected. Someone posted a video of an immigrant rejoicing in his newly-granted South African residency status online, and the post used the immigrant’s seeming self-assurance to criticise the asylum procedure and the Department of Home Affairs. It was not possible to independently confirm the man’s identification or the papers using the resources that were available.

The post fails to address the problem of the papers’ contents since the video does not provide a clear enough view of the paperwork to determine its contents or the issuing department. Neither the time nor the location of the video’s recording nor his receipt of the papers are specified in the post. In order to determine the authenticity of the documents, such elements are crucial. Even without them, the social media post proves that asylum status has been granted.

He had done nothing wrong by revealing it, according to other viewers who backed the guy, who said that acknowledged refugees in South Africa are entitled to papers verifying their status. Critics of the Department of Home Affairs pointed out that the film demonstrated how easy it was to get asylum applications. Instead than addressing the verified facts of the papers, the response centred on the asylum system.

The Department of Home Affairs’ comments on the video and the verification of the papers are still open questions. Those who have been officially acknowledged as refugees in South Africa are entitled to official paperwork attesting to their status. Since the video cannot verify the contents of the documents on its own, the public is eagerly awaiting more details.
