It
is vitally important that you get all the relevant documentation form foreign
nationals. All copies of passports should be certified, the originals should be
presented and copies of the relevant visa documentation should
be requested and provided on a yearly basis.
It
is important to take these steps so as to ensure that your risk is minimalised as in terms of Section
42 (1) of the Immigration Act 13 of 2002: “save for necessary humanitarian
assistance, no person shall aid, abet, assist, enable or in any manner help an
illegal foreigner including but not limited to harbouring him or her, which
includes providing accommodation or letting or selling or in any manner making
available any immovable property in the Republic to him or her”
