WATCH – The Terrible Conditions In Which Nigerian Immigrants Seek Asylum South Africa

According to a South African immigration officer, about 1000 Nigerians besiege their office on a daily basis seeking asylum. Those who manage to get over there on temporary or fake papers never want to return despite the treatment from other South Africans and their government.
