Residents from Chatsworth joined March and March protests, expressing concern over illegal immigration in the area.

HUMAN rights activist Previn Vedan addresses the recent protests in Shallcross, urging for balanced leadership and effective immigration policies to address community concerns over undocumented immigration.

Vedan said the events following the June 30 protests demonstrated the depth of public frustration and highlighted concerns that had been building for years.

Thousands of immigrants were forced to flee from informal settlements and sought refuge at the Shallcross Stadium last week.

“While emotions are high, this is precisely the moment when calm, balanced and principled leadership is required. Communities have legitimate concerns that deserve to be heard.
