President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on South African companies not to employ undocumented foreign nationals to avoid tensions with citizens in the country. HumanRightsDay

Ramaphosa says this is against South Africa’s values and warns that such actions could lead to vigilantism. He was addressing residents in Koster in the North West during the official commemoration of Human Rights Day.

“We should not allow ourselves that those who come from other countries, see ourselves being at war with them because it is unSouth African. The challenges of unemployment that we are facing should never mean that we should go and wage war against those people from other countries because once we do that, we just immediately promote this spirit of xenophobia that now we hate them, that they must go.

S. Ans you must learn to look after yourselves.let zimbabweans develop your country.learn to appreciate

Yaa the president has spoken they will just Obey,no consequences no question.

They should not be here from the first place if they are undocumented,if they are asylum seekers or have refugee paper must be isolated under government scrutiny,untill such a period of time(years)than they may be documented, but for now no one has no SA I'd can get a job,SA joke

He must go to labour brokers

If they contineu doing what will be the consequences for those companies, because I know they continue without fear

Miss_Riri6 He must first start with those main contractors owned by the ANC members in City Power, they employed 80 percent of foreign nationals because of cheap labor and exploration.

It's very low for Mr president to speak such what I believe the president should be saying instead is to make sure that companies follow procedure in hiring of both foreign and south Africans our biggest problem is employers and explotations at workplace let's fight that

What makes south African people unemployed is that they are expecting higher salary and fast money than work they do. So undocumented foreign nationals they do heavy work without complain . South Africa's know much about their rights but failing their responsibility....

Too little too late, what he should be focusing on is damage control,

Not enough! We want to see proof that those who employ foreigners have everything to recruit SAns before delving on Scarce Skills search for foreigners. We don't believe the current Scarce Skills List by Department of Home Affairs....it is inflated!

Mxm 🙄🙄Electioneering.

Is that all he can say? These are illegal immigrants, if you’re a commander in chief of the police force, you don’t beg criminals to stop breaking the law. You arrest them. What a hopeless ANC this is! 🙄

Miss_Riri6 A call is a call. It ends there

Its not just about them being unemployed, they must be arrested and deported

Mara ANC president banna

These folks should not have been allowed to enter the country illegally in the first place.

263Chat To hell with ur county

But when I reported a company a few years ago, nothing was done about it, as usual.

Like who listens to this fool. Everyone is doing their own thing in this country, there is no president.

Mr president, don't TELL them not to, but Make them not to. You are the president, you have the authority and power to avoid that. Government is the cause of those tentions between SA citizens and Foreigners.

Don't worry your cadres are all willing to supply them with 'documents ' for few Rs

South African companies can't employ them if you did not let them in undocumented.Cant employ someone if he is not here or is that too difficult to fathom

Isn’t he suppose to mention Acts of Country SA to support?and Reference.

Hhayi this president, a weakest of them all Why calling them, he supposed to be prosecuting these companies

You're too late Mr President

Wtf, a tad late, no? 🙄

Tman_Shandu His reasoning is lame. He must say they must not employ undocumented because its illegal

Not because doing so is actually breaking the law 🤔🤔🤔

They must not be employed at all since they are the once who pimp at work

LoPresident wenu cinga sizilima

Only to avoid tensions? Not because it's against the law?

He was waiting the tension to start first before he can say what he's saying now! He knew foreigners were employed without papers. Stupid boy president. South Africans you are on your own! Fight for yourself.

Not to avoid breaking the law? He is motivating them against social cohesion as opposed to being law abiding? Isnt he president? Having taken an oath to promote and defend the laws of the Republic?

That should be law not baseless talking

He needs to start in his farm.....

Well can he be the first to step down since he's a foreigner with no documents please,phela uRama truth be told his not South African

And so the campaign has started. 😂😂😂 Lux kada, Cyril mona. Your emotions will be revved up. Cast the x on ANC then nothing. Fall for it at your own peril

He should rather be telling us why do we have these undocumented foreign nationals in the first place, let alone employ them. And the next thing he’s shocked about the emergence of operationDudula

Yeah right 😏😏😏😏

Even the documented ones, they must go to their country's

The problem lies with Cyril. Why do we have undocumented foreign nationals in the first place? It’s his job to make sure we don’t have any. He is scapegoating. If he makes sure to do his job, SA will have no undocumented foreigners. And no one can employ undocumented foreigners.

Let's see how this turns out

This shirt needs bees

Uyanya lo

🤔

Meanwhile, Kimberley residents have chased away two foreign shop owners out of the city, after searching their shops and allegedly finding drugs and a large sum of cash stashed in a safe.
