# Home Affairs deported nearly 110-thousand illegal immigrants since the formation of the Government of National Unity.

Department acting spokesperson André Gaum stressed that deportations are part of a broader strategy to manage undocumented migration and uphold the rule of law. He says the figure underscores the scale of South Africa’s undocumented population and the government’s continued focus on curbing illegal entry and residency.
