�Shame On You Bots Immigration�

Shame on you, Bots Immigration for the situation at the Tlokweng embarkation control on Sunday afternoon. 150+ people queuing to leave the country, 3-mins to scan and data-enter each passport.

There was no Chief Immigration Officer to complain to and the Immigration Officer just laughed when I suggested she just stamps everyone out and enters the data from the embarkation card later. No passport scan obviously, but then does it matter? Does any of this data matter? These people are leaving the country. They are going in the right direction as far as immigration is concerned.
