The ANC has proposed a complete overhaul of the immigration system and has come up with a number of measures to tighten the country’s immigration laws. The party has suggested that an immigration board and special immigration courts be set up.

The ANC logo and colours are displayed on a press conference table.measures to tighten the country’s immigration laws.ANC NEC member Aaron Motsoaledi presented the discussion documents on Peace and Stability with a focus on Immigration this Tuesday to the media as the party prepares for its policy conference that will take place this weekend.

ANC NEC member Aaron Motsoaledi explains the rationale behind the proposed board. “At the moment, the department that decides on these immigration matters is Home Affairs and nobody else. I can assure you that whatever decision that Home Affairs has taken impacts on the work of many other government departments and many of them start raising objections long after Home Affairs has taken a decision.

He also says it’s high time that experienced and skilled immigration officers are hired so they can adequately deal with the issue of the country’s porous borders.

HOW do you deport 13 million illegal foreigners? It will take them 20 years to find these people… not gonna happen.

I find it astonishing that a party being at the helm for 28 years now suddenly and miraculously comes up with solutions for problems they have been creating and exacerbating for decades. That's politics for you.

The ANC cannot implement anything and this will never happen anyway like so many other ideas and policies they have.

Same old talk, and no action. Mxm!

Krugersdorp incident happened during ANCPolicy conference. I think it's about time the party acted on the cries of its Citizens on illegal immigrants. We need to start cleaning our cities then villages. We can't host more than 5m foreign nationals.

They come in our own country and brutally rape and kill our own people

Come 2024 some people will have to vacate office

Off course these institutions will turn out to be corrupt.

Remove all of them immediately, no immigration laws tsa nex ha ba tsamaya please

Why is the UN paying SA ?

Great at ideas ...implementation , and control ...now there lies the problem

Why should Sa spend money, setting up immigration board / courts, it’s already illegal for them to be here, now it’s immediate deportation .

We all know the ANC is not going to do anything abt this. They always try to sound woke prior to electioneering

They are 100 steps behind Motsoaledi

The 2002 immigration policy is clear about who must be within SAn boundaries and who must not but ANC government with these so called oppositions ( EFF and DA) decided to breach SAn laws just to continue making businesses in African countries.

The availability of unskilled workforce from other countries who cook, wash and clean for us. In America most ppl can't afford a helper

The immigration board and courts will have no effect on the immigration problem since it will be under ANC control.

Seems like another strategy to loot public resources.

The PutSouthAfricansFirst Movement has shaken the whole SA political spectrum and their idiotic idealogies, in January we heard EFF tried to sing our songs and they failled now ANC is trying to silence us NEVER. We don't want meetings and conferences WE WANT ACTION. ASIJIKI

🙄ANC policies are the best in the World, but zero action to them

Is too late for those suggestions, we are suffocating and being killed by foreigners,ANC is just talks!talks!talks!ons is gatvol!

Ewe yona ba e rata gampe shem

Ao so for the past 28 years...

Ahh proposed overhaul...just another way to loot some money. Screw the ANC. They must sit down

ayshamoolla Oh please, just stop the corruption in that department

They are going to come out of that conference with wonderful policies but those policies will never be implemented bcoz WMC don't feel at ease

Current laws are enough.... But there is no will to implement

Back when there was gravy for all, SA Blks were welcoming their 'brothers' to swell the ranks. Post 1990's it was a big, promising party!! ..now that their leaders have eaten all the gravy, they suddenly want to reject 'Ubuntu' Ya Nee.

ANC is good at promising ,talking & coming up with plans every time which thier not even going to put them to use.....they talk but nothing will change...come 2026 they'll still be discussing the same issues

No need for this.. Name a spade a spade on failure by other neighboring governments to feed their citizens. This can be addressed at SADC and AU summit with turf talk..

Rubbish!!!!! There is nothing that the ANC will do to fix immigration issues on a large scale, there is no overhaul that's going to happen. Just lies, lies and more lies! Naive people will believe this.

worse onf resources and energy if ever Zimbabwean formes armed Rebel groups against their ruling party South African will be compromised the ANC must face ZANUPF and help Zimbabweans to remove them from power peaceful before it becomes too late.SABCFullView MorningLiveSABC

They could hv done it if they so wanted.

Too little too late for ANC, we can't be fooled anymore. Hoza 2024 elections.

'Wr made plans. We ain't planning on ever implementing them.'

Its about the 'FLIPPEN TIME', most foreign nationals are taking advantage of laws meant to benefit citizens..The refugee agreemenfs with UN/AU must also be lookes at we NEED refugee CAMPS. The issue on ' SA belongs to ALL' needs to be clarified too

Elections are close now we're not being xenophobic to demand a basic right of being a sovereign nation and our by laws to be adhered by this jerk heathens who come to destroy this land haah

Let's set up a commission. 😆😄😅🤣

Why only now🤔

Maybe first fix our border fences. O wait we started and then some people pocketed the money and now the fences can't be finished....

Doesn't make sense making it more difficult for people to become South Africans. The real problem are people who disregard the process and come here illegally. The ANC continues to misdiagnose the issues in this country. If people have skills and want to be SAns let them.

Useless anc..akwerekwere are already running this country

But it's the same useless ANC that put us in this mess. It's too late

We, the peopleof South Africa, Recognise the injusticesof our past; Honour those who suffered for justicaend freedom in our land; Respect those who have worked to build and develoopur country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.

ANC knows exactly what is supposed to happen for things to start moving, they just dont want to do it, this is just a promo to win the trust like always being, dont pay attention to this folks, lets move

No need to overhaul. Just enforce existing laws,

VoetsekANC

VoetsekANC reactionary as usual, what's funny is the reaction... A committee of committees will bring world peace and end hunger and climate change...

Can we first bring the criminals in the ANC to justice

Overhaul of immigration laws while they failed dismally to enforce the current law

HomeAffairsSA thank you for reconsidering the work permits for my parents i am currently under study permit but cant stay alone.

This is nonsense immigrants must be deported first n we will talk later

ANC ? Mxm

The ANC couldn't overhaul a Fiat Punto!

Really they must othewise people will take the law into their own hands!

Electioneering time 🤣😂

Is there one in Nigeria? Is there one in zim why waste sa money

Action speak s louder than words

I see the new minister is looking for his own avenue of looting. Welcome to souty🤣😂

Legal or Illegal immigrants deport all with SA wives and children and then start with scares skills recruit after 2025 in really indeed the skilled person isn't available in the country. SA have all the necessary skilled or unskilled workers

Anyone who believes them must be some kind of a fool. The ANC has been fooling around with people since '94 and they are shameless. They spend millions setting up commissions of enquiries only to point fingers without those found in the wrong facing any consequences.

masagwadi

In the meantime what are we going to do with the 13 million undocumented immigrants ?

The ANC needs to be complettly overhauled in government

We will see the Chihuahua Lux approving the propaganda

During election time Cyril said the same thing mos

The party not the government,who rule the country?🤔

We're not going anywhere sizayire kezophanta ra

It's a trap!!!!

No one talks about border security 🤔... South Africa fighting a loosing battle 🤞🏾

ADFSAfrica This is the most ridiculous measure ever, this over regulating will isolate this country and starve it of regional benefits

😂

Maybe also set up an Immigration Committee. Okay? Shap shap! 👍

I wonder if all these boards and commissions being setup is not a attempt to deploy more cadres?

The same arseholes that created this issue in the first place?! ANC..must...be...flippen...joking!

ANC keeps on proposing without implementing unless if it helps the Europeans 😩

They should have changed the immigration act long ago

Has South Africa ever deported anyone? Asking for a friend.

With this immigration review,MYANC ,must first do in-house cleaning.

Our current laws aren’t flawed by them foreign nationals but rather public servants and politicians through dirty businesses which only them know about. Government must want to solve these and not blind fold us with crap, cause those costs money which goes back to them 😡

We have an appointment with 2024, no more time for useless processes we want implementation of our current immigration laws

More useless bodies.... probably going to be loaded with the dreaded cadre class.

Another board, another commission, another task team. All these fools are good for. No action

Open borders is a disaster

Nkandla Kloek Lux Clan will be very pleased. This is pure African desperate gaslight. Lose your elections already and leave the chappies alone that like to travel. Stupid bananarepublican reptiles.

The must go to hell

Anc doesn't even trust itself in what it proposes for it failed itself dismally in many proposals it made. Shame on them for ignoring its state power it can use to enforce the rule of laws

😳🤨🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There was nothing wrong with Home Affairs pre-94. Then ANC wanted to be everything to everyone. First they removed soldiers patrolling our borders. Second, they tampered with solid laws...they 'Africanised' them. Strange that Africanisation is only found in SA not other countries

Immigration board? 🤡 🤡

For decades the ANC sat by and allowed millions of people to stream into SA over our borders. Did not care. Preached xenophobia. Now that there is an election around the corner and realize that South Africans are fed up, NOW they want to do something about it.

FFS

2023: ANC sets up an immigration board 2024: ANC sets up an immigration Committee 2025: ANC sets up a Task team to accelerate commitment to dealing with immigration It goes on and on

Deport dis people 🙄 😒 our country is overpopulated now 😑

2024 is around the corner they know what to do

We don't have resources for specials for foreigners, present laws are good enough, they just need implementation

Another board means a possibility of further corruption taking place.

Fokof we don't want any overhaul, just implement existing law damnit..

Contracts for Cadres

What is wrong with the current immigration laws? All you need to do is implement those laws and arrest corrupt officials.

I hope people don't fall for this trap. We are in this mess because of the ANC. Dr Motswaledi is trying but it's a little too late.

This like a person who's been eating big Macmeals daily from McDonald's for 28 years and suddenly wants to go on a diet now 🤣🤣🙈🙊...

So thy bought dudula’s ideas hence Lux excused himself from the organisation

Elections are nearing.

They always promise, and promise. I'm sick of ANC giving us false promises. They promise because they start to campaign for 2024

Please amend section 18 to force people on relatives visas to work! No free rides! That act is a shambles.

Special immigration courts that will chow taxpayers money, come 2024 siyabakupha! Lamasela

So ANC and SA media think we are so stupid they make promises that have never fullfil since 1994 and they want us to still trust them just because 2024 is around the corner they can fotsek we will take them out of power and rebuild our country back to its glory

*yawn* the last horse in this race died years ago.

We believe you ✊🏽✊🏽!

I am of the view that ANC is late now,there is nothing good will ever come from them they have distroyed this country,they must be taken out now.

Too little too late for this

Just DO it already!! Time is money! SA civilians need ACTION from govt. Today, now, consistently!

Mxm

This is absolutely unnecessary. Just be serious about implementing existing immigration laws.

They could literally impose the current immigration laws. Then increase salaries for those who are guarding borders so they don't take bribes Then increase the amount of border security you don't need a board for this

You have to be desperate to need to, or want to come to this $h1th0l€...

Damage has already been done MYANC

The only time MYANC says something about the influx of foreign is when we have elections coming and after votes they go silent. Same old scam PutSouthAfricaFirst

Goes to show who actually runs the country a political party not the government 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 VoetsekANC

Why must the ANC fools first destroy and then pretend to know how to rebuild? Get them out.

CapeIndependence is coming

why only now ?

No no no..I'm.not falling of it..they had 28 years to do it ..

Immigration board? Oops another looting tool! It's the same as commission of enquiry!

Damage already done.the last kick of dying house.ANC is no longer meaningful to majority. RSA ppl mst jst stop believing in ANC policies which paving ways for corruption

13 million + illegal immigrants are in and protected already tightening laws won't help ordinary citizens will keep on suffering ANC is twerking for 2024 votes

No words how are these incompetent people still leading our country. There are so many qualified people in South Africa that can do a far better job.

Campaigning already 🙄🙄

Enforcement of existing Laws will be sufficient. Simple.

It a good initiative,it will add value to what is happening and try to stabilise the problem

They are still suggesting.

ANC iloyiwe struu nas. What is so difficult to enforce the current laws?

Please bear in mind that this is ANC.... We have been here before

Start with law enforcement, that simple 😉

Very true we can not talk about safety if we are afraid to talk about immigration system

Over thirty years too late , but then this is SA after all.

This is why they are here

📍 Mass deportation now

We need to job and business sector reservations for SAns only...problem solved...they will have no reason to come and invade SA

ANC busy again to appease the world by chasing accolades and Glory at our is Sovereign state,just arrest and Deport.We need no court what we want is a REFURUNDUM on deportation timeless,like BREXIT happened.

Rubbish, they can go poop in the nearest bush

Why? We didn't have this problem before CancER threw open our borders!

There are existing laws implemented them ANC must stop wasting our time and resources.

ANC is late. Come 2024 they MUST be voted out. They use immigration as a political ploy. We are not fools. They sold our country to foreigners.

They need to start by arresting Melusi Gigaba, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and many others, infact Gigaba and Dlamini-Zuma should not be allowed to be part of the discussion on Immigration, then maybe I'll start believing them.

Hey ANCParliament , here is a better one. How bout you and all your buddies leave SA for good like the Guptas. We are much better off without you. Sincerely , The South African Citizens

People just cut the fence and walk in. They don’t care about laws. They know what they are doing is illegal, they just don’t care 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Way too late in my opinion, and the country has been overran already. Can't be reversed unfortunately.

Special courts for what? The ANC doesn't have intellectuals anymore. I doubt if they consult specialists on some of their policy proposals because there are financial implications for many of their ill-considered ideas. The sooner we move from the ANC the better.

Took ANC more than 25yrs to see the kinda kak🤮💩, they have caused this beautiful country so freaking disgusting stupid, look Hillbrow, Sunnyside, Point damt it you can't drive on N1 at night, amout of bakkies crossing into Zim & Moz,

Where are you Cosatu? workers are waiting for increase why are you so quiet or you still preoccupied by ANC factiond

It's strange the issue of illegal immigrants has never bothered Khongi until now. Even then, it's because ordinary South Africans have rolled up their sleeves and dealt with matter hands on. It's just a campaigning tactic. Motsoaledi aside, others are blowing hot air.

Very interesting

Imagine tightening the immigration laws of a country with porous borders 😩😩😩😩. Those imbeciles of MYANC don't respect us seriously, they think we are fighters 😭😭😭.

Laws are there 😳 just enforce and deport the animals. VoetsekANC

Long long after the sluice gates opened. What a joke my darling! 🤡🤡🤡

Those who suffer from amnesia will believe this nonsense.

They are late

Unfortunately, it will just remain a proposal, ANC don't implement anything except stealing from the public purse.

First deport the 20 million illegal immigrants

They must pay that board and those courts from the ANC pocket. THESE GUYS ARE ADDICTED TO LOOTING STRAIGHT . ASIZODLALWA YI LE MIGODOYI

The refugee is something that needs to be changed. If you aren't from a war torn country then you should not to treated as an asylum seeker. Their right to own business must be restricted. Let's remember SA is still a poor country. We aren't Germany or the USA

ANC is always forming this useless committees and summits instead of implementing existing laws we are led by fools.

nokwanekgabo Implement existing laws. And stop appointing the likes of Chilembe to oversee and protect their fellow foreigners. We are not fools. We don't want to be lead by foreigners in any capacity.

EFFSouthAfrica brothers have killed, raped & hijacked enough of us. Enough is enough now! Where in the world would you have foreigners brazenly saying they're going to go on a killing spree of natives of their host country & not be condemned by anyone? They got to voetsek!

Those ones my just focus on preparing the handover of government, they have dismally. They even failed to fail those who failed them internally

Another way of spreading corruption and Looting amongst themselves

Please dear SAns don't fall for the Anc or media bullshit. They are just campaigning for 2o24. The love for SA🇿🇦is the hate for Anc or EFF. Put SA FIRSt no matter what....4reinas must go back home 2 face their problems & fix. SA is too small for the entire Africa or the world🚮

landback_ Taking care of my debts and giving my family the best financially is what I have long waited for, Brandonkaren11 thank you for helping me gain financial success. through your Bitcoin mining platform

landback_ Step1 build a solid wall with guards and monitored further by technolog to prevent illegal crossings.

Just implement the existing laws

Another ANC Electioneering Gimmick for 2024 ?

Our law's are noT flawed enforce our immigration laws and Massdeportation to foreigners in SA

Mxim Immigration board For what? Just deport ppl and secure our borders

🤣 if they can't make DHA effective & free of corruption how would they make that one any better? Where are the ideas for effective regional & continental structures to enforce democracy, rule of law & economic participation in the continent?

Electioneering season

ANC must first do mass-deportation of illegal immigrants, is estimated that there’s 13million illegal immigrants

Who will trust the ANC to implement these measures and enforce immigration and labour laws? In Zulu we say kungawa ilanga licoshwe yizinkunku if the ANC would suddenly be a capable and committed government.

Today I was working Midrandestate there is too much foreigners from Gardener's Domestic workers cheap labour is creating problem's 🇿🇦 they're race who are called investors
