FOUR Zimbabwean workers jailed for using false passports and employment papers are to be deported, a British judge ruled.

The four, who were employed at the Ifield Park Nursing Home, in Ifield near London, on Friday failed in an appeal against their deportation at the Court of Appeal Friday.

Jocelyn Chirimimanga, 44, of of Chaffinch Close, Langley Green and Pauline Chitekeshe, 46, of The Broadwalk used passports marked with false stamps to obtain jobs at the nursing home on Rusper Road.

They were each jailed for a year.

Fellow Ifield Park Nursing Home worker and Zimbabwean Modista Masese, 37, of Denchers Plat, was jailed for a year at Lewes Crown Court in January for possession of false identity documents and obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception.

Another colleage Dadirai Tsuro, 32, of Cuckfield Close, was jailed for 11 months for three charges of possession of false documents and obtaining employment by deception.

The four Zimbabweans were part of a group of seven illegal workers arrested in a police and immigration services sweep of the nursing home in December 2006.

During sentencing, a judge recommended their deportation after they finished serving their sentences. They appealed.

Rejecting the appeal, Mr Justice Treacy said: "It is said that there were no sustainable grounds (for deportation). But we think that the sentencing judge was right to say that the use of stolen or forged passports undermines the good order of society.

"This was an abuse of this country's immigration laws. None of them had the right to remain at the time of the offences."
