'Purpose of suspected illegal military camp to be known soon'

Published 2024-08-05
The 95 Libyan nationals who were arrested at an alleged military training camp outside White River in Mpumalanga are appearing in the local magistrate’s court today. The case was delayed last week to allow time to find an interpreter who speaks Arabic. Tshwane University of Technology's crime and violence expert Prof. Jacob Mofokeng has more.

    Public knowledge that they came for studies and rehabilitation? Prof please shed more light on that statement
  • I do believe the Government must know about this. How many more camps are in South Africa?.
  • @seanmyers8380
    Whats the reasoning for this guy to say Libya has a government of national unity? This buzz word that is being thrown around meant to passify South Africans as if is not a misnoma in our country. A simila model was prevalent during the Tsvangarai/Mugabe ruling of Zimbabwe and no one was screaming GNU... WHY NOW? AND WHY HERE?
  • I get the sense that people are skirting the issue and not giving prompt answers. Like they protecting people. By now they must know who brought them in, who applied for visas, who at Home Affairs accepted the applications, who transported them there, who kitted the camp out for clearly Military-like training???
