Home Affairs plans to overhaul immigration system

[@KazieD]

Amend the constitution too please 🙏🏼 South Africa is for South Africans. We've been nice and tolerant for far too lòng to these foreigners

[@Skhamnini]

They are working on it.

[@SimonNhlapo-z7v]

We’ve been nice and welcoming they took that as stupidity, their sense of entitlement overtook reason on their part. They don’t stop coming at the end their countries will be left empty while Sa will be overburdened and poor

[@bafilambozo8476]

All South Africans has to do is stopping talking as if you have food in the mouth. Just be clear, put electric fences or concrete walls in all SA borders. Rescind the visa free agreement that SA has with African countries as well as developed countries. Dont issue visa to anybody. Stop European and American car manufacturing companies as well foreign companies such as Mcdonalds, KFC, Burger King, Spar, Midas, Eestern Union, Visa, Mastet Card, etc from operating in SA. Teach South African all types of skills so you dont need to attract foreign critical skills. Why do you want to attract foreign critical skills to come to SA to help you grow the economy? Why? This is a brain drain, ruining other people's countries economies, leaving them without skilled people. African countries must also stop SA companies scattered all over Africa as mushroms, such as Shoprite, Mtn, Dstv, Pnp, Pep from operating in African countries, they make billions of Dollars in African countries. They must take their companies to USA, Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Its is encouraging to hear someone mentioning the person who started the actual work in ending illegal immigrants challenges. Former minister Aaron Motsoaledi did a lot of great work at this dept of home affairs but was often criticized and prevented from doing his job. DA is now seating with a headache on how they are going to deal with hiring South Africans in thier companies and getting rid of illegal immigrants they were paying for cheat labour.

[@ndwekazim4881]

Everyone who tries to deal with illegal entry n immigration to SA is often barred from executing that task, it started with Shenge- the late chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi🤞

[@MasayitiMathebula]

DA was enriching themselves with the foreign nationals,now the nail is in the head.

Can someone at Home Affairs tell the nation how many foreign nationals are working for Home Affairs

[@duanemnisi3721]

The public of South Africa has spoken already, stop making excuses

[@Shades11353]

Critical skills Zimbabwe and india are still number countries to supply south africa, meaning they must invest in Education. So that those skills will be around borders, Foreigners will be always your boss if you not Educated that's A fact.

[@siyabongamngomezulu9743]

I agree that foreign nationals who have 'scarce skills' that the economy requires will be highly sought after by this country, the reality for most South Africans is that most foreign nationals that they encounter are either in the hospitality industry, hardware construction, trucking, textiles and agriculture, in all these sectors, they are mostly labourers, and that is what upsets South Africans, the employers hire foreigners circumventing labor laws and treating foreign workers as slaves, paying them less, making them work longer hours, sometimes exploiting them sexually and otherwise since they know they won't got to the police for fear of being arrested, this is WRONG. South Africans are supposed to work those jobs but the employer doesn't like South Africans because they cannot be exploited easily. If you listen to the WMCs they love illegal immigration, because it ensures they always have cheap exploitable labour and are able to undermine the laws of the country.

[@japrosper7240]

So if South Africans are not educated,who are studying in the universities? You sound so uneducated. Anyway, why do you even bother because you fall outside the group that have critical skills.

[@SimonNhlapo-z7v]

Logic is we don’t want those skills from poorly educated people from neighbouring countries. Our universities are best in the world and they produce the best. So if our laws on migration are followed without fear or favour as we are moving to that direction we won’t need to source any skill outside

[@prano550]

they should start with the gentleman in the studio ,that job is not a scarce skill any qualified south African can do it.

This is going to make economy going further down, because You employ people who can do the job, not about south Africans only, just say we don't want foreigners . Then close all borders. Employ locals then watch results after a year. Simple things to do. Not making noise about foreigners everyday.

[@kagisomabele4936]

Clearly you don't have faith in this country and it's people. Furthermore there's lot of skilled & educated individuals sitting home who need opportunities. However it seems you're quite happy for jobs to be given to foreign nationals before South Africans.

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

What does this mean. Who did all the work in the 1800's to the early 1900's?

[@dvce123]

​@@kagisomabele4936 closing border will make it worse my dear, remember trucks carrying goods from SA to other countries like DRC, Malawi, Zambia, including Zimbabwe itself buy 80% of their products from SA, etc Many trucks pass through Zimbabwe in order for SA to supply these countrues. Our economy will be affected and more retrechments. Also SA mining in Zimbabve, they carry minerals from Zimbabwe into SA through borders. Closing borders will affect us badly. There's major exports going on between these borders as we chat here

[@kagisomabele4936]

@@dvce123 Did I mention anything about closing borders dear? There's nothing wrong trading legally with other countries. Are you saying SA needs an open border policy? Do this countries you mentioned have borders of their own? If yes Why? I think every country should have borders that doesn't mean there's no crossing just as long is for legal valid reasons.

They can't close borders guys, there's trade going on between SA and to the region. It will affect us very bad. Trucks supplying goods that we export to other countries pass through borders. Let's weigh the impact and effects before we jump into conclusions economically wise and Cost benefit analysis first otherwise we will end up destroying the economy worse.
