S.Africa: Dozens of women discover unknown "husbands"

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Dozens of women discover unknown &QUOT;husbands&QUOT;

The number of false identity documents (IDs) and bogus marriage licences are on the increase, a documentation verification company said on Thursday.

This announcement was made shortly after the discovery that more than 40 South African women had discovered that they had been married without their knowledge to men using their IDs to gain South African citizenship.

Ina van der Merwe, chief executive of the company Kroll MIE, said fake IDs and fraudulent marriage certificates used to obtain false citizenship papers were also becoming a headache for business.

More than 20 percent of documents tendered to the company for verification were false, she said.

‘Much more needed to be done’
These included IDs, passports, marriage certificates, qualifications, drivers’ licences and criminal record checks.

The department of home affairs said on Thursday the 40 women were among about 2 000 checking their marital status on the department’s records, as part of a campaign to curb the problem of women being unknowingly married to foreigners.

The department said it was concerned about “the spate of fraudulent marriages or marriages of convenience” around the country, particularly in Mpumalanga.

While applauding measures taken by the department to weed out corrupt officials, Van der Merwe said much more needed to be done.

She warned that South African passports were increasingly being linked to crime syndicates and terrorists. She believed there was a risk that South Africans would be subjected to more stringent immigration procedures to weed out fake passport holders.

Van der Merwe said it had already been discovered that of 800 000 civil and customary marriages registered since 2001, at least 3 387 were fraudulently recorded. Two thousand and nine marriages had already been expunged by Home Affairs and around 3 000 young women were found to have been illegally married in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga.

The department said in a statement that it would continue to assist victims of such unions to expunge their marriages at no cost.

“We have already made arrangements with the department of justice where we are able to de-register or expunge a marriage without the long process of having to go to court, as long as the people concerned satisfy the requirements set out.” – Sapa
