Lindela is a centre for the repatriation of illegal migrants and those who have failed with their endeavours to register as legal asylum seekers. Lindela is a melting pot of people seeking a better life in another country as well as those with criminal intent. It is here that S.A. Police Services and Home Affairs rely on the sophisticated technology of Sondolo to positively identify those entering, leaving and being held in the centre. Using state of the art technology, Sondolo applies biometrics, sophisticated CCTV monitoring and access control. Information gained is used by Home Affairs and S.A. Police Services as part of data mining for the protection of the national interest. Many a criminal case in the justice system has been resolved due to the systems applied by Sondolo IT. The contribution of broad based migration data for socio economic development and planning has also been significant.
