The North Gauteng High Court ordered the immediate arrest of two Home Affairs officials for contempt of court on Thursday.
The court heard that the Home Affairs legal department advised two of its officials to ignore a court order to appear before the judge.
Acting judge Johannes Kruger had ordered Klerksdorp Home Affairs Operational Manager Pieter Erasmus to appear before him to explain why he did not comply with a previous instruction. The same applied for immigration department head Malebo Matsane.
The two officials ignored the court's instruction to release immigrant Ali Ullar from detention on Tuesday.
