A SOUTH AFRICAN mother-of-two, who has received huge support in her battle to remain in Ireland, has been told she will be flying back to her former home later this week.

A SOUTH AFRICAN woman at the centre of a deportation row has been given a week to leave the country.

A MOTHER of two threatened with deportation last night appealed to the Justice Minister Michael McDowell to show compassion and halt plans to send the family back to the country where her husband and son were burned to death in politically motivated attacks.
