Security cluster ministers are meeting behind closed doors at the Union Buildings in Pretoria as the government faces mounting pressure over illegal immigration and growing anti-migrant protests across South Africa.
An urgent closed-door meeting convened by the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) ministers is under way at the Union Buildings in Pretoria to address rising protests over illegal immigration.
The meeting is focused on the growing demonstrations against immigration and undocumented foreign nationals in the country.
All security cluster ministers and senior officials responsible for national security are attending the meeting in Tshwane.
“In response to the broader challenge of illegal immigration and general social cohesion issues, the ministers will meet to finalise a framework for the national action plan to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” government spokesperson William Baloyi said.
