LEADERSHIP: KwaZulu-Natal traditional leaders support protest for deportation of illegal immigrants
The Provincial House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders in KwaZulu-Natal has officially backed a planned protest scheduled for Tuesday, advocating for the deportation of all illegal immigrants from South Africa.
During a media briefing held at the Marine Building in the Durban CBD on Monday, Deputy Chairperson Nkosi Gumede emphasised the need for peaceful demonstrations, even as frustration over immigration issues continues to grow.
Addressing journalists, Gumede stated, “We are calling for the mass deportation of illegal foreigners, not including those who are documented. We also urge our people to protest within the ambit of the law.”
His comments reflect a significant concern within traditional leadership regarding the increasing presence of undocumented immigrants, as discontent simmers among communities grappling with various socio-economic challenges.
