Fans were quick to flood social media with their two cents. A concerned X user commented, “These women must be arrested. Why is @HomeAffairsSA not following up on similar cases.?”
Another user commented, “It’s good that other women see this problem. The only way to stop this is for the government to scrap the spousal visa.

WHAT DOES THE SOUTH AFRICAN SPOUSAL VISA ACT SAY?
South Africa’s economy has made the country a haven for many foreigners from struggling countries.
However, confirmed reports have that most of them have resorted to marriages of convenience to have legal documents to stay in the country.
Thousands, if not millions, have used the Spousal Visa process. In immigration terms, a spousal visa is also known as a Relative’s Visa.
However, the act allows a foreign national who is married to a South African Citizen or South
African Permanent Residence Holder to reside with him/her legally in South Africa
for a period of up to three (3) years.
