Mzansi reacts to Anabela Rungo's possible deportation

South Africans on social media did not receive the news about Chidimma Adetshina's mother's possible deportation. Many felt deporting her would be a slap on the wrist after she broke the country's laws.

Others also argued that if she is let go so easily she will surely return illegally again.

@tndaba said:

"She can't be deported, she committed a crime and obtained her documents fraudulently. For that, she must be charged."

@b3l_Air commented:

"She'll be back next week with a short crokodilio hop and a skip and a jump across the Limpopo, a slap and tickle of cash at the border and voila... back to entitlement in Cape Town!"

@IsaacMbongela wrote:

"She'll be deported, then come back again. Why not jail her for at least a year as a punishment for the crime."

@Sbusiso_Rza added:

"She will sneak her way back after being deported because South Africa has porous borders, all thanks to the ANC and DA coalition government."
