News summary

The South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has completed the deportation of 95 Libyan nationals arrested in July for allegedly participating in military training at an illegal camp in Mpumalanga. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) withdrew charges against the group due to insufficient evidence, leading to their imminent return to Libya, funded by the Libyan government. Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber praised officials for their swift actions to ensure the deportation process was expedited. However, concerns have been raised by ActionSA president Herman Mashaba regarding the potential risks associated with their release, questioning how the individuals entered South Africa and their intentions. The DHA maintains that they acted within legal frameworks and will continue to investigate the camp's ownership and operations. The group is expected to arrive in Benghazi, Libya, amid ongoing inquiries into the camp's purpose and the legality of its operations.
