The IFP reiterated that its Private Members Bill is not xenophobic, but seeks to prioritise work for South Africans and regulate the employment of foreign nationals.

IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa addressing members of his party.

The party believes the Bill is a solution to the unemployment crisis in the country, which rose to 35.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa criticised the government for its inability to gain control over South Africa’s immigration crisis. Hlabisa will table the party’s Private Members Bill in Parliament, although the Bill seeks to prioritise the employment of South Africans it still caters for foreign nationals.

The Bill was first launched in KwaZulu-Natal in May and is now being introduced in Gauteng. IFP spokesperson, Mkhuleko Hlengwa says the party is not apologetic for the proposal of the Bill. :The government of South Africa does not know the majority of the foreign nationals where they stay and how long they are here because they never see them getting in and some also get out having not been noticed by our government. That is why our people are suffering so much. The government services – whether it’s education, health – we are competing with people from other countries,” says Hlabisa.

Don't be apologetic to nay sayers and privileged scumbags, you are on the right path IFP.

....with the SA Police receiving bribes all the way along the N1 from the border! SA can build walls along the all the borders and people will pass through the official borders with cash! Finally SA can chase all foreigners but the problems of SA are just starting! Good Luck!

...SA is the only country on the continent where you can go in and out with cash, no passport! All illegal immigrants don't jump fences or cross rivers, they go through the official borders! This how sickeningly corrupt South Africans are! The corrupt goes all along the N1.....

SA is a Xenophobic and Afrophobic country, no debate or no question about that! South African themselves accept that fact and the world is very aware of that! The problem about illegal immigration is not about porous borders! It is about porous or rather immigration officials...

I am super excited right now, I can now pay my bills and take good care of my family.. Thank you for bringing happiness to my home with just $5000 i got $50,000 in 7days Williamchurch07
