Controversial Theories Surface: Were the Illegal Immigrants Released on Purpose from Lindela Repatriation Centre?
The dramatic footage capturing the moment when the illegal immigrants fled from the Lindela Repatriation Centre has caused a stir in Mzansi, generating various theories and discussions.
On one hand, South Africans are skeptical, asserting that there is no way the immigrants could have escaped from the Lindela Repatriation Centre without assistance, suspecting a deliberate release. They raise questions about the whereabouts of the security personnel when the immigrants bolted and fled.
On the other hand, some social media users have made references to remarks made by EFF president Julius Malema, suggesting that immigrants should find creative ways to enter South Africa. Netizens have asserted that the fleeing immigrants were merely following Malema’s advice.

@KrugersdorpB;
If you ever been to Lindela or just to pass by,there is no way one can escape…the security is tight. Someone got paid and let the doors open. This is SA.
@NonTshala;
They were told to find creative ways to be in this country 🤷
