#illegal immigration

The issue of illegal immigration in South Africa is often discussed in relation to the poor, but it also involves the middle class, which plays a role in sustaining undocumented labor. While low-income communities bear the brunt of the strain on public services, employers who exploit undocumented workers often evade accountability, shifting the blame to the government. This dynamic complicates the conversation surrounding immigration and labor practices.

Minister Firoz Cachalia held a media briefing to discuss the security measures being implemented in preparation for the countrywide marches against illegal immigration scheduled for June 30. The briefing outlined the security cluster's readiness to manage the anticipated protests.
