President Cyril Ramaphosa met with two of the country's most prominent anti-immigration activists, Nkosikhona Ndabandaba and Ngizwe Mchunu.
The Cabinet has reaffirmed the government's tougher stance on undocumented migration, announcing intensified border security, labour inspections, and deportation measures, while also approving a raft of policies aimed at strengthening energy security, environmental enforcement, and state-owned enterprise governance.
Briefing the media following Wednesday's Cabinet meeting, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the Cabinet had received a progress report on the implementation of the government's five-pillar Comprehensive Approach to Managing Migration, which was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this year.
On Friday, Ntshavheni said the Cabinet had welcomed the largely peaceful demonstrations and commended the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) for maintaining law and order.
"Cabinet extended its appreciation to South Africans who participated in peaceful protests against unregulated migration and commended NATJOINTS for ensuring peaceful protests."
