VEREENIGING.- From their Parliamentary Constituency Office (PCO) in Vereeniging, the members of uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) marched to Home Affairs last Thursday.

“The march was meant to raise concerns over South Africa’s Asylum-seeking and the official documents for undocumented foreign nationals,” clarified MKP Regional Spokesperson, Mpeyakhe Nhlapo.

Nhlapo said that his party is calling for stricter implementation of immigration laws, improved border controls, accountability in the administration of Asylum applications, and the granting of legal documents in the country.

The party called for respect when it comes to the laws of the country.

The party opposes any unlawful issuing of South African documentation to individuals who do not qualify under the applicable laws and regulations.

“South African immigration laws must be respected and enforced without fear or favour. The party opposes any unlawful issuing of South African documentation to individuals who do not qualify under the applicable laws and regulations,” said Nhlapo.

MKP has called for undocumented foreign nationals who entered the country illegally or remain in the country illegally, to subject themselves to the laws of the country.

“The message of the march is clear: South African Laws must be respected, the Asylum system must be implemented accordingly, and official documentation must be issued in accordance with the law.”

• The Home Affairs offices were closed following the marches to the offices in Durban and Soweto last week on the same issue.
