SA deports Indian millionaire

An Indian national who built a multimillion-rand business empire while in South Africa is believed to have been illegally operating in the country for the past 15 years.
Manjar Ali Shaik Yusuf Ulde of Rondebosch, Cape Town, was deported to India on Monday after the department of home affairs alleged that his passport and identity documents were fraudulently obtained.
He was deported even though he is out on bail and scheduled to appear in the Kempton Park magistrate's court on March 4 on criminal charges relating to the documents.
His lawyer, Zehir Omar, said he would be seeking urgent redress from the Constitutional Court on Ulde's deportation.
Ulde, his wife Sharika and three children, Mohamed, 14, Saima, 11 and Uzair, 1, were stopped by immigration officials at O R Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg after returning from a holiday in India on January 15.
Ulde's wife and children were sent back to India the next day, the same day the children were scheduled to return to school in Cape Town. Ulde, however, was detained and charged.
He said his documents had been seized and were in the possession of a Mr R Moodley, an immigration official employed by Home Affairs.
