At least 61 migrants, including women and children, died in a devastating shipwreck off the coast of Libya, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Libya. The incident occurred on a dangerous migration route in the central Mediterranean, which remains one of the most dangerous in the world, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/16/at-least-61-migrants-drown-after-shipwreck-off-libya-iom">Reuters</a> reported. Survivors reported that the boat, carrying approximately 86 people, had departed from Zwara, a city in Libya located about 110 kilometers (68 miles) from the capital city of Tripoli.
This year has seen multiple deadly incidents along this route. In June, a fishing boat packed with hundreds of migrants sank off Greece after leaving Tobruk, Libya. The journey, intended to reach Italy, resulted in 78 deaths, while the fate of 518 others remains unknown, as per an IOM report. Drowning has been identified as the primary cause of death on migration routes worldwide during the first half of 2023, with a staggering 2,200 recorded fatalities.
The IOM report further revealed that the central Mediterranean route was the deadliest, accounting for a total of 1,727 deaths and disappearances along its shores during the same period. Most of these tragic incidents occurred in Tunisia, followed by Libya. However, the actual numbers are believed to be higher, as the figures provided by the IOM likely underestimate the true scale of the crisis.
The situation in Italy has been particularly severe, with sea migrant arrivals nearly doubling in 2023 compared to the same period last year. Approximately 140,000 people have arrived on Italian shores, with the majority originating from Tunisia. The small Italian island of Lampedusa has been overwhelmed by the influx of migrants.
In response to these challenges, the European Union and Tunisia signed a “strategic partnership” agreement in July, aiming to combat human traffickers and strengthen sea borders. Additionally, Britain and Italy have announced plans to jointly finance the repatriation of migrants stranded in Tunisia, although the exact amount of funding has not been disclosed.

Over 60 Migrants Including Women And Children Die In A Shipwreck Off The Coast Of Libya

Four Nigerian men illegally boarded a cargo ship hoping to reach Europe, but were shocked to learn they had landed on the other side of the Atlantic, in Brazil.
They travelled approximately 5,600km (3,500 miles) across the ocean on the rudder – a flat or curved piece of material attached to a boat or ship’s back that helps to steer and navigate it, surviving on minimal food and drink.
After ten days at sea, they ran out of supplies and resorted to drinking seawater to survive for another four days before being rescued by the Brazilian federal police in Vitoria.
<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/2/four-nigerians-survive-14-days-on-ships-rudder-before-rescue-in-brazil">Aj Jazeera</a> reports that two of the men were returned to Nigeria upon their request, while the other two applied for asylum in Brazil.
Roman Ebimene Friday, a 35-year-old from Bayelsa state, had attempted to flee Nigeria by ship once before but was arrested by authorities there. He and Thankgod Opemipo Matthew Yeye, a Pentecostal minister from Lagos State, said that economic hardship, political instability, and crime had left them with little option but to abandon their native Nigeria. Yeye’s peanut and palm oil farm had been destroyed by floods, leaving him and his family homeless. A 38-year-old Thankgod Opemipo Matthew Yeye said:
<blockquote>
It was a terrible experience for me. On board, it is not easy. I was shaking, so scared. But I’m here.
</blockquote>
Friday said during their journey, they played cat and mouse with the ship’s crew to avoid being seen and potentially thrown overboard. They remained silent and tied themselves to a net rigged around the rudder with a rope. The cramped conditions, noise of the engine, and proximity to the ocean made sleep rare and risky.
Father Paolo Parise, a priest at the Sao Paulo shelter, noted that their journey exemplified the lengths people will go to in search of a new start. It also highlighted the inherent dangers that migrants face in their quest for better lives.
The phenomenon of Africans leaving their countries in search of better economic opportunities and political stability is a significant challenge that continues to affect the continent. During their journeys, many migrants face significant dangers and challenges, including the use of dangerous and illegal routes, human trafficking, and abuse and exploitation. Unfortunately, some feel that they have no other choice but to take these risks in order to improve their circumstances.
Africa is a continent with vast natural resources, yet its citizens often find themselves living in abject poverty. The failure to see the benefits of these resources has been attributed to several factors, including corruption, lack of value-addition and beneficiation, exploitation, and maladministration.

4 Nigerians Illegally Board A Wrong Cargo Ship, Spend 14 Days On The Rudder

The Department of Immigration in Zimbabwe has redeployed its officers from various stations and ports of entry across the country as part of measures to curb corruption.
While the official records state that the redeployment was in line with standard operating procedures to transfer all those who have been at their stations for over five years, insiders told <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/immigration-officials-redeployed/">The Sunday News</a> that the authorities were not happy with some cases of corruption that implicated immigration officers.
According to a memo dated June 30, 2023, ten Principal Immigration Officers stationed at Victoria Falls were transferred to Robert Mugabe International Airport. These officers covered various ports of entry in Victoria Falls, including Victoria Falls border post, Kazungula border post, and Victoria Falls International Airport.
Sources at the Department of Immigration have confirmed that the transfers commenced last year, and more officers continue to receive their transfer letters. The Department of Immigration Director-General, Ms Respect Gono, confirmed the transfers but refused to give further details.
Corruption has been a long-standing issue at Zimbabwe’s ports of entry. The Department of Immigration has been one of the government agencies most affected by corruption allegations. Reports allege that some immigration officers accept bribes to facilitate the entry of undocumented immigrants or contraband goods into the country.

Zimbabwe Immigration Officers Redeployed To Curb Corruption

The United Kingdom (UK) has announced new immigration curbs which prevent foreign postgraduate students on non-research courses to bring their family members.
Prime Minister (PM) Rishi Sunak believes that the move, which will take effect in January 2024, will help bring migration down.
The new immigration curbs are expected to impact migration levels, but the extent is uncertain since students and family members who stay for less than a year are not counted. Last year, 135 788 visas were granted to dependants of foreign students, a significant rise from 54,486 in 2021.
The announcement was made two days before official statistics showed legal migration hit a record 700,000 this year. The move was aimed at reducing migration levels, but the government has not specified an acceptable level.
The Home Secretary believes the change strikes a balance between reducing migration and the economic benefits that foreign students bring to the UK.
The BBC interviewed two Nigerian students at Wolverhampton University, who expressed their concerns about the new immigration curbs preventing foreign postgraduate students on non-research courses from bringing their family members to the UK.
Rotimi, a mechanical engineering master’s student, believes that most students come to the UK to study and want their families to be part of that experience. Titilope, an undergraduate in mental health nursing, suggests that allowing students to have their families with them would enable them to focus on their studies without worrying about their loved ones’ welfare. 
The University and College Union (UCU) criticized the new immigration curbs as a “vindictive move” that has caused deep concern in the sector. UCU’s general secretary Jo Grady believes that those accompanying foreign students to the UK bring significant value to society and deserve the right to live with their loved ones while studying. Adam Habib, director of SOAS, criticized the decision, citing financial challenges, coherence in government, and human rights concerns.
According to HESA, there were 679 970 international students in the UK in 2021/2022, with universities relying heavily on their fee income. Of these, 307,470 were undergraduates who are already ineligible to bring their families to the UK. The remaining 372,500 postgraduates include 46,350 on research courses, the majority of whom are pursuing PhDs.
Students with visas must provide documentation proving their relationship to dependents, who must pay a £490 fee for a visa and an annual immigration health surcharge of £470 to £624 for NHS services.

UK Restricts Family Immigration For Non-research Postgrad Students

A South African immigration officer based at Beitbridge Border Post reportedly fought with Zimbabwe-bound travellers who had complained about his slow service on Friday.
A witness told the <a href="https://newsday.co.zw/southerneye/local-news/article/200009990/sa-immigration-officer-fights-zim-travellers">Southern Eye</a> that the South African official threw away the passports of a group of travellers after they challenged him for insulting them.
South African border official Thabo Mogkola referred questions to Home Affairs spokesperson Siya Qoza who reportedly ignored the questions.
A white female traveller who declined to be identified told the publication that the immigration officer was openly rude and his mood further darkened when travellers complained about his slow pace. Said the traveller:
<blockquote>
Travellers were also not happy about his rude manner of speaking, and they started grumbling after spending a long time waiting in the queue.
He was deliberately being slow for reasons best known to him and trouble started.
He came out of his office and started collecting passports from the crowd. He then went to a fence close by and threw the passports over.
People scrambled to get their passports, while others physically attacked him.
</blockquote>
The official reportedly fought back until some of his colleagues restrained him.

SA Immigration Officer, Zimbabwean Travellers In Fistfight

Undocumented foreign nationals have been accused of straining South Africa’s health delivery system resulting in locals failing to receive healthcare services.
Johannesburg’s MMC for Health and Social Development, Ashley Sauls, on Saturday told eNCA that illegal migrants are putting pressure on the country’s health system. Said, Sauls:
<blockquote>
This is the problem that South Africans are facing. I am part of this government and I am saying we take responsibility.
If we take responsibility, we are then going to openly and transparently look at what the issue is.
We cannot tip-toe around the issue. If the issue is uncontrolled, illegal immigration will continue burdening our health systems, and it is negatively impacting South African citizens and we have got to ask: What are the solutions? What should we do?
</blockquote>
Sauls’ remarks come after a video went viral in South Africa showing pregnant women sleeping on the floor at a hospital in Johannesburg.
South Africa is home to millions of foreigners fleeing civil war, drought, and joblessness among other things from their home countries.
This has, however, resulted in the emergence of anti-African immigrant movements in South Africa such as <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Operation_Dudula">Operation Dudula</a> that accuse foreign nationals of taking their jobs and involvement in drug dealing.

'Illegal Immigration Burdening South Africa's Health System'

The South African government has granted a waiver to children from visa-exempt countries like Zimbabwe from carrying additional documents when entering or departing the country with one parent or a guardian.
This was revealed in a statement by Home Affairs Minister Pakitshe Aaron Motsoaledi. He said:
<blockquote>I Dr Pakitshe Aaron Motsoaledi Minister of Home Affairs has with the powers bestowed upon me in terms of section 31 (2) of the Immigration Act 2002 Act number 13 of 2002 decided to grant a waiver to foreign children from visa-exempt countries entering or departing the Republic from complying with the provisions of Regulation 6 of the immigration regulations 2014. The department is in the process of finalising amendments to the immigration regulations in this regard.</blockquote>
Motsoaledi added that the waiver is granted on condition that all other requirements for entry and departure from South Africa shall be complied with.
Previously, children from visa-exempt countries entering or departing South Africa were required to carry a valid passport and additional supporting documents including a birth certificate, death certificate, consent letter when travelling with one parent or a guardian.

South Africa Relaxes Immigration Requirements For Children

The Zimbabwe immigration department has warned visitors to be aware of bogus websites that promise to process their visas to visit the country. The department said one particular website had been www.zimbabwevisa.com had apparently been receiving applications.
The department said the legitimate website is <a href="https://www.evisa.gov.zw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.evisa.gov.zw</a>
<blockquote>It has come to the attention of the Department of Immigration that some of our clients who require online visas prior to visiting Zimbabwe tendered their applications through a foreign based parallel website which uses the domain wwwszimbabwevisa.com.
The Department is inundated with complaints from clients alleging to have tendered their online visa applications and were not served with the standard confirmation of receipt tracking number or determination to their applications. In all the cases reported, it was apparent that the applications were not submitted on the official website.
The Department of Immigration wishes to reiterate that it has no relationship whatsoever with the said domain, neither has it contracted its owners to process any visas on its behalf. All our clients wishing to obtain online visas to visit Zimbabwe are urged to utilize the Department’s official website which is <a href="https://www.evisa.gov.zw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.evisa.gov.zw</a>for any visa related services.
Those who may have submitted their applications through www.zimbabwevisas.com on the presumption that it is an official website are urged to promptly report to the nearest Zimbabwe Department of Immigration offices or alternatively contact any of the Zimbabwe Embassies or Consulates or call +263 712 321 210 (c) +263 242 764075.</blockquote>
