Children of parents who are in South Africa illegally are expected to return to their home countries as a family unit either voluntarily or by deportation as per section 34(1) of the Immigration Act 13 of 2002. This section provides for the arrest and deportation of an illegal foreigner. The rights provided to the children would also be in line with the family unit by allowing for the right to appeal against the deportation or request the deportation to be confirmed by a warrant of a court. The detention of such a family would be at a place of safety pending their removal from South Africa.
