This is one of the proposals put forward by the Democratic Alliance following last week’s meeting of its Federal Council, the party’s highest decision-making body.
These include the free movement of people, a focus on opportunities created by the economic participation of migrants and addressing the harmful myths about foreigners.
Let the people stay.deport criminals
It's not xenophobia when other countries enforce strict legal regulations for immigration. They're even applauded for having a strong system that protects it's citizens. When SAns demand legal regulations & laws that make it difficult to live here illegally then we're zenophobic
Our country SA is kwa mmanka itirela fela. The ruling party to implement laws that governs us all and be monitored so as we all enjoy the fruits we once fought for with the neighbors as they've contributed a lot to our freedom but not ngena Phuma without boundaries
Absolute Rubbish. They must go home and stay there.
Re-enter yomqundu leyo!!!!
That is a very stupid idea, government is capable of arresting and deporting illegal foreign nationals.For da to talk about amnesty that is pure criminality.
It's not about Illegal or Legal. Foreigners and I mean Black Foreigners must leave SA. They are making our Ineptitudes Show.
TheyloveDenz Re enter for what, we don't want them here
Xoshan amakwerekwere opastor nurse awothisha odriver youth engaka ehlezekhaya vele lamaskills sinawo
So you have work for all South Africans
The only reason DA is saying this is because most of their funders exploit foreign nationals. They know if foreign nationals leave, that's going to affect their donors.
Illegal immigrants must leave South Africa and go home to rebuild the economy of their country....there is no need for them re-enter SA...
That is rich coming from the DA they have been in parliament for decades now watching nd supporting undocumenting imigrants now they Wana play god bloody politicians.
The economy is anti black South Africans. Employers(mostly white) are anti black South Africans. The MYANC is anti black South Africans. Black SAns are a majority in SA but yet we are excluded in the economy but we have the buying power!! We need quick solutions!!
Let us give every criminal amnesty then.
Undocumented means leave... thats it. Leave....
Might as well free all the criminals from jail because foreign lawbreakers are getting a free pass. I suspect there's millions of white illegals in Cape and thisDA knows that's why they call for amnesty.
Our government, under it's intelligence needs to secretly fund OperationDudula. If they can't keep tabs with foreigners who live, walk and reproduce in daylight...what more about foreign spies? What more about foreign terrorist groups? For those reasons, action must be taken!
Illegal immigrants are criminals...we can't turn blind eye on criminals...PutSouthAfricaFirst
How many times must we give them amnesty. Let's give all SA criminals amnesty to start again as clearly the laws of the republic are not respected Politicians r playing with the future of this country while not affected as they stay in gated estates n hv loot to move anywhere🚮
What are low and unskilled undocumented immigrants going to do once in SA, other than putting a strain on the collapsing SA infrastructure, including competing with locals for scarce low paying jobs. We are not a soup kitchen for failed African and Asian countries.
How many time must we give them amnesty. Let's give all SA criminals amnesty to start again as clearly the laws of the republic are not respected Politicians r playing with the future of this country while not affected as they stay in gated estate n hv loot to move anywhere🚮
DA ya nyela full stop.
Niyanya!!!
No they hv to stay there and build their economy. Cherity begins at home please
They must not come back what is the difference when they are legal/illegal? They must only come as tourists. One day is one day this ANC/EFF gov will see. We need to win back captured judiciary first all will be history after that. PutSouthAfricanFirst OperationDudula
At this point I'd rather see vicious SAs in jail being pardon than this suggestion.
And that is another reason I do not vote for them..
MtsewuPalesa They get deported and still come back illegally the next day... Are you sure these people want to be legal here?
So going with the DA narrative is safer. Right?🧐🧐🧐🧐
DA running out of Ideas full stop👀
Let the foreigners go and reside in the suburbs where the DA leaders reside and not in our townships and let's see if they will still spew the same rubbish!
DA is benefiting from the foreigners because they damage our infrastructure and who are we going to blame? ANC. And when stupid ANC goes down. DA think they'll benefit. That's stupid of them to realise that statement. Undermining black SAns jobless children.
It's too late!!
This is not a surprise at all. Remember DA supporters or members most of them exploit this desperate foreigners. We will not tolerate their rubbish stands.
Documented or no documents thy mst b deported and fingerprints mst b taken. 90% of thm foreign nationals hv fake documents,thy were caught right handed opened thyr fake home affairs in JHB,KMP n ada areas wth fake documnts,depot all of thm till further notice 20 2 30years 2clnSA
Nonsense! Mass deportations must happen NOW!
Mass action is what is needed business & government must feel the pinch. Our_DA what sort of nonsense is this. One of the Rosettenville guys who was arrested in Tembisa, he lived less than 5km from our place,he was found with military ammunition and arms.Imagine documenting such
That's stupidity, you are allowed to stay 30 days in 1 year in any country. Unless we opt visas for Zim and Moz but Nigeria is the same. They are on Visas and it never solve their drug peddling issues
What a load of bull
I agree
Those people who support DA really don't want to employ the South Africans, they want to keep foreigners in their companies for cheap labour, the message is clear, illegal foreigners will be deported
You must be crazy.....where is it legal to apply for a visa in a country where you are staying already? Not only staying....but staying illegally?
🖕🏽DA. Your constituency is complicit in this mess and you refuse to hold them accountable as well. Since you think an influx is acceptable, organize for the WC to take them in.
What rubbish is this 🤧
So they re-enter to do what?
Nah. Honestly, I don’t want them here. Go build your countries!!
The Our_DA approach is realistic & its the most economical. Mass deportations will be detrimental to the SA economy & only enrich corrupt police unless a wall is build all-round; besides u can't really police immigration from SA's neighbours & no party will be able to do so.
Hell no
Why would foreigners want to come to the land of darkness. 25 days without electricity and I have to cancel tourists from staying at my guest house! We must be heading towards a We Don't Want any foreign person here. Nobody cares so I am wondering why even have an article?
Ba nyela serious
Lmao not the DA getting in on this
Bayanya!!
'Undocumented foreigners should be given amnesty to leave the country and re-enter legally or apply for visas within South Africa...' This does not even make sense. The DA has lost its marbles. What happenned to the rule of Law they always talk about? Shame on them! VoetsekDA
Ba nya straight 🤬
Are you looking for a business opportunity where you can be earning up to R30,000 weekly without sending anyone your cash Ask me how 👇
Only P.A and ATM in Hovernment can solve these peoblems, DA, ANC, EFF, Action SA, They all sing from one hymn, they serve one master Stellenbosch, they are not to be trusted.
HELL NO, ILLEGAL CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS MUST GO!!!
Tell that DA that they are talking nonsense,if they want these people to go and come back,they must come back to build mkhukhus and stay with them in the suburbs not in location.
The end of DA
Niyahlanya
I agree, this fighting each other is wrong. We all proudly African
You're smarter than ANYONE. But European settlers entered illegally and legitimize themselves now they own everything in South Africa right now while black African people South Africans dwelling in tin- houz without proper.................. ......
PutSouthAfricansFirst OperationDudula Dudula OnsBaizaNie if the politicians dont want to assist and enforce law. It's best we create our structure for election so that we can stand for our rights.We are the community and want to work. Run shops. Sell vegetables. Open saloon.
Option to re enter yani, when r they going to fix their countries 🤔🤔🤔
If you are not an investor with R5m, or scarce skills employees or students pls allow us to organize ourselves. We hear you want to sell vegetables but we can do that. We dont want to share that stand with you. You can do that home. We are ready to build our economy
Why must they come back to SA when they're displaying so much disrespect and disregard for our country laws and the citizens of this country?
The DA suggestion won't pass
MtsewuPalesa In their homes. Let them open their own homes and give them amnesty there. Kheman
Imbude yodwa nje lena
Gwen is reasonably smart. Let people leave in peace and decide whether they want to come back or not. Landlords need to be given adequate notices to plan for their mortgage payments.
Enter to do.what exactly?
Atleast now we know we don't need Our_DA those who voted of them shouldn't do so in future! We need a Patriotic Party.
The sad part as u fight foreign nationals, whites are making money out of un-united baboons. Isizulu sithi ifa leziwula lidliwa abahlakaniphileyo. U an asshole if u sat n waited for smone all the frm pakistan to come take your job. Ubuhlaleleni? Why were u not selling the street?
Voetsek!
They must go to the home country and never return here.
Young unemployment is the highest in the world They must go join ISIS or go fight in Ukrain
The Re-entre part its very confusing and unnecessary
No ways MZagagana
Some people are an embarrassment to SA. now some south africans are stuck in Ukraine not allowed in trains coz they are black , which SAn has gone to look for Ukrainians to go back to their country coz they are too many here in SA making real money ?
DA and SABC News can both go to hell
DA must start by sending whites back to Europe. How can a Zimbabwean look more foreign than an European settler. Double standard. Now SA have shifted focus abaout the land issue busy with fellow Africans. Good job DA
Mthembu_77 Amnesty my foot man.... u guys are rubbish your buddies choose to arrest citizens for expressing their feelings over people who are in the country illegally what have we done to you guys why they so much hate stop it now it painful show us love protect poor SAns please,
'Policy guru' why do we have laws then?GwenNgwenya
PumPum_Radebe They must take all of them to western cape
The 1st thing DA can do in the wards they govern is to ban the migrants who stand on our street corners pretending to be job seekers but in reality they a survaling us, robbing us & stealing electric cables atleast put them in a designated public area away from our private homes
So whats the point of having laws? South Africans must also be given amnesty if they cant afford to pay for water & lights, lets give all prisoners amnestry as well GwenNgwenya
Fix zimbabwe first
People who broke the law and violated our immigration laws must be given amnesty!? 😳 that’s pure criminal!
Mangy58765480 Fokof We dont owe foreigners Ah!t
Our_DA ,stop telling the people what the problem is,come down to the people and ask what the problem is.”He who feels it,knows it”.
Yeah that is the better strategy considering that SADC states will label SA with xenophobia if deported forcefully. They must be given amnesty and then when out, shut the borders. Must apply for scarce skills visa and issued before they arrive here. PutSouthAficansFirst
DA should have discussed how the private sector benefits from illegal immigration
But one applies for a visa at their own country before they think of leaving can we do things properly because shortcuts are leading to these vigilantee groups sparrling out of control
Hayibo why? They wanna be illegal so that they can do as they please moes
Then it should follow that all criminals in SA should be given amnesty and those who have not been convicted must be allowed to confess thier crimes and plead for leniency. Our_DA
The DA has no sympathy for bIack south africans who have been affected by apartheid.
Why don't just release all criminals in jails, because this country doesn't have the rule of law? I mean illegal immigration is a crime. If we forgive that, we might aswell let go of all prisoners
These whites just see opportunity for cheap labour.
Mxm
We want mass deportation finish and klaar they must go fix their countries and leave us in peace
Re-enter?
Re enter to do what, commit crimes as they always do? DA keep on supporting foreigners you will loose support
Herman mashaba must take note he’s the one who put this useless DA into power with our votes 2024 we don’t want to help this useless organisation to maintain any metros mr mashaba
This has to be understood in the context of the DA constituency. The DA constituency are in the agric Business, retail and hospitality and general SNMEsy, those sectors are really reliant on foreign labour. The DA is merely expressing the wishes of their voters
SADC_News GovernmentZA The truth must rise above brotherhood propaganda and new dispensation apologists. At the centre of the Zimbabwe immigration crises in SouthAfrica is failure by the zimgvt to provide living standards for its citizens amnesty zhrc365
This is why people dont vote for the DA to lead this country. They will always be an underperforming, out of touch white opposition party who act liberal but is just plain moronic with their approaches of solving our social ills.
DA praat kak!
Sounds like Jan Van Rebeek
All we need is capable snipers at the border
Exploiters of note saying that you'd think they're angels kanti hell no they're devil's advocates. Snakes on eagles park.
DA a party of white foreigners (from Ukraine German Holland uk Serbia eastern Europe) says this about black africans.
Rubbish,we want them gone for good
Failure of liberation movements, it was easy to fight oppression but noidea of how to rule. Just shambles all over the continent except perhaps fir Arab countries up North. The solution proposed is just a plaster that will work temporarily… long term the issue wil resurface
🤬
Our_DA does not run this country, and they never will. Right now this issue is about the future of SA, which DA is not in it. Why listen to a racist, cheap labor-mongering organization that is dying such as DA?
Bangasabuyi, go vote and fight their government, whats wrong with u DA?
Amnesty for what.including rapist ?
You can't come to South Africa without no valid reason, you're here for vacation?, are you hired in a skill which no South African can fill?, are you a Student or you have R5 million minimum to invest?. All other reasons are unlawful. OperationDudula x PutSouthAficansFirst
Why now some sort of favourism? Immigration Laws are very clear in black and white and should be complied. Unless we're in Banana Republic?
When poverty comes to the house kuthwa umthakathi ngu Makhelwane African proverb
That's rubbish !!!!
Shut up DA. They must be made to exit FULL STOP. If job spaces later become available then only maybe A FEW ought to be let in, on very fixed conditions. Our country is NOT the new America. Feel for all and sundry to take advantage of.
They will be declared an undesirable and banned from entering South Africa.
To come n do waitress ING jobs again? Noo, DA ya hlanya le yona
This is a sensible proposal from the DA. Also maybe they can ask everyone to reapply for the ID and move away from that book to the smart ID. There is no country in the world without migrants.
Zuma must be given amnesty and allowed to join ANC and run for president again😊
Not onlt the undocumented but also the documented,remember thy hv open their own fake home affairs wthn de flats n thy were caught,so is the real documents,b4 thy deported fingerprints mst b taken thn thy can starter fresh to apply for being in SA n after further notice 10 to 20y
Yaa neh,DA is anti-South African.
sthe_mwelase What madness is that,apply for whilst u are already in the country?
Apply for what visas when they have already broken our laws? That's more like saying all ANC looters should not be charged. A strong message without massaging feelings needs to be sent to everyone who thinks SA is playing ground for lawlessness. DA is smoking socks as always
😂🧘♀️We send them home. So they can think straight if they want to be in our country or not. This foreigners are killing so much people per day
Undocumented foreigners should be arrested and deported. We have enough mouths to feed as a country they should fix their own countries. Mass deportation
Dankie DA
They must leave finish and klaar
So the DA thinks illegal immigrants will agree to leave milk n honey willingly 🤷🏾♂️🤣 This party is really out of touch with reality facing township people shem🤣
Mass deportations finish. PutSouthAficansFirst OperationDudula
Whites are not foreigners in South Africa only black are foreigners mmm.that operation dudula.
Same should apply to the Guptas and all other criminals who have not been caught yet
When they leave, they'll be welcomed with immigration control. You can't come here without skills.
Nobody leaves and come back. Why can't they stay in their own countries kante? Stupid suggestion by a bunch of useless people
Nooo Our_DA they must apply in their countries illegality is crime.. They were given amnesty people like vsibbs when they were caught with fraudulently ID now they got amnesty and formed organisation to take our government to court in our country to fight for other illegal's
they're missing the point, we do want legal foreigner with scarce skills but we will never allow displacement of SAns non scarce skills sectors and we want controllable number of those with scarce skills. the rest must go back to their countries they're no longer welcome
Let them Go and never Come back. We don't tolerate illegality in our country! They must Go to Zimbabwe, Ethiopians, Somalians, Pakistanis, Nigerians etc..
Because illegal foreigners are not threatening the livelihood or security of the DA constituency. Instead illegal foreigners are a useful tool to DA constituency as they exploit them and send them to our townships,school n hospitals Instead
LEAVE THE COUNTRY. SIGCWELE.Finish and klaar.
Re-enter to do what exactly?
Not surprising coming from the organisation that represents those responsible for 'employing' these hard working illegal immigrants. We won't give amnesty to criminals OperationDudula PutSouthAficansFirst
I agree with you and close borders there after
At some point in history some South Africans were undocumented citizens in Zimb, Zambia & Tanzania. They were given shelter and provisions. I did teacher training in Byo with one foreign guy from a political party in SA. History has a habit of repeating itself.
Of course they must leave and come back if they want to, but the problem is that they don't respect this country because they do as they wish.
