The IMC reiterates its unequivocal rejection of all forms of xenophobia, intimidation, vigilantism, violence and unlawful actions directed at foreign nationals, regardless of their immigration status.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Migration says it has noted concerns raised by the Siyafana Sonke Action Campaign regarding the treatment of migrants and foreign nationals in South Africa.
The committee said the concerns include calls for stronger humanitarian support, greater protection for vulnerable people and clearer communication around repatriation processes.
Government said it welcomes constructive engagement with civil society and reaffirmed that migration management will continue to be guided by the Constitution, the rule of law, international obligations and the protection of human dignity.
It added that it remains committed to addressing humanitarian concerns while enforcing immigration laws in a lawful and orderly manner.
