1. The Link between Illegal Immigration and Drug Trafficking in South Africa
Illegal immigration in South Africa has been a persistent concern due to the country’s
porous borders and the challenges in implementing effective migration control. The
influx of undocumented migrants has, in some cases, been linked to increased criminal
activity, including drug trafficking. While it is important to note that not all illegal
immigrants engage in criminal conduct, the lack of legal status can make some
individuals vulnerable to exploitation by organised crime syndicates, including those
involved in drug distribution networks (Segatti, 2011).
One of the main links between illegal immigration and drug trafficking lies in the
operational needs of transnational criminal organisations. Drug trafficking syndicates
often require a network of individuals who can transport, distribute, and conceal illicit
substances. Undocumented migrants, especially those without legal work opportunities,
may be coerced or lured into these activities as a source of income (Shaw & Reitano,
2017). Additionally, some organised criminal groups deliberately facilitate the illegal
entry of foreign nationals into South Africa to strengthen their manpower for illicit trade
