Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has on Friday welcomed the arrest of an immigration official in Pretoria.
Aaron Motsoaledi said Sam Langa failed to do his job to ensure that the law was upheld and respected.
The official was handcuffed during a police sting operation last week. He's alleged to have demanded over R100,000 from a foreign businessman who was in the country illegally.
Authorities say Sam Langa's attempts were to ensure that the businessman and other foreigners were not deported back to their country of origin.
