KZN Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has warned employers about the consequences of hiring undocumented migrants as the province intensifies its immigration enforcement efforts

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has issued a stern warning to businesses and individuals employing undocumented foreign nationals, saying they will face arrest as the province intensifies its crackdown on illegal immigration.

Speaking on ongoing deportation and repatriation efforts in the province, Ntuli said authorities are broadening enforcement beyond undocumented migrants to include employers who knowingly hire them.

“That operation is going to continue in order to ensure that whoever is undocumented will have to correct the issue of being undocumented, including the employers who are employing the undocumented foreign nationals,” Ntuli said.

“They will be arrested.”
