US hip hop star Mos Def, born Dante Terrell Smith, was detained for immigration violations in Cape Town, after overstaying his visa period.

Home affairs has since said that the musician was not in possession of an American passport at the time of his arrest, and had attempted to leave South Africa with a world passport.

They have also cautioned that the rapper faces serious charges for contravening South Africa’s immigration laws.

What exactly is this world passport and how legal is it?
