African Nations Concerned About Some Violent Anti-Illegal Immigration Protests in South Africa Says Lamola International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola says several African countries have raised concerns about the violent nature of some anti-illegal immigration protests in South Africa. Lamola said South Africa's counterparts across the continent recognise the country's right to enforce its immigration laws, but have questioned why some enforcement efforts are accompanied by violence and vigilante actions. He stressed that immigration laws must be enforced by the police and other authorised law enforcement agencies, not by private groups or individuals conducting house-to-house operations. Lamola said the South African government has consistently clarified that such actions do not reflect its position, adding that immigration enforcement must be carried out humanely and in accordance with the Constitution. He also warned that misinformation circulating on social media has become a growing challenge, contributing to negative perceptions of South Africa internationally.
