Leaked info derails KZN raid targeting undocumented workers

# A multidisciplinary raid aimed at capturing hundreds of undocumented foreign nationals in KwaSithebe, north of KwaZulu-Natal, turned out fruitless. Officials from the provincial government, police and other state entities descended on factories in Mandeni this morning following intelligence that hundreds were illegally employed there. But they found none. Workers claim information about the raid leaked last night, with factory owners allegedly tipped off and telling staff not to report for duty. KZN government says it will continue to monitor the area.
