1008639484__20260525__0 President Cyril Ramaphosa's long awaited to address on issues around illegal immigration will happen on June 7 at 6pm.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to unveil government's long-awaited response to South Africa's escalating migration crisis on Sunday evening, amid growing tensions over undocumented migrants and warnings that no group will be allowed to take immigration enforcement into its own hands.
The address comes at a critical moment, with anti-illegal immigration protests gaining momentum across parts of the country and activists pushing towards a self-imposed June 30 deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
While government insists it has developed a comprehensive strategy to manage migration, Ramaphosa now faces mounting pressure to reassure South Africans that immigration laws will be enforced while also preventing the country from descending into lawlessness and vigilante action.
The Presidency confirmed on Sunday morning that Ramaphosa would address the nation from the Union Buildings in Pretoria at 6pm.
