In a national address, President Cyril Ramaphosa is presenting the government's new plan to tackle the ongoing migration crisis, particularly focusing on illegal migration and the recent surge in protests against foreign nationals. The address, confirmed by the Presidency, takes place at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has previously dismissed rumors of a nationwide shutdown linked to anti-illegal immigration protests, emphasizing that the Cabinet has approved a comprehensive migration management approach. This includes the National Action Plan (NAP) to address migration challenges. As tensions rise, particularly in provinces like Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Gauteng, some foreign nationals are reportedly leaving South Africa due to safety concerns. Ntshavheni reiterated that while citizens have the right to protest, unlawful actions will not be tolerated. Security forces have also cautioned against any illegal activities associated with these protests, reinforcing that immigration enforcement is solely the state's responsibility. Further details on the government's strategy will be shared following Ramaphosa's address, with media briefings expected thereafter.
