Parliamentary committee calls for law enforcement to intensify efforts to ensure immigration laws are upheld

# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Home Affairs has called on law enforcement agencies to intensify their efforts to ensure that immigration laws are upheld and effectively enforced. This comes as anti-foreigner marches continued to take place around South Africa, leading to foreign nationals leaving the country. Committee chairperson Mosa Chabane says illegal migration cannot be addressed in isolation as it is closely linked to broader socio-economic challenges. He emphasised that strengthened infrastructure at ports of entry and vulnerable border areas is essential to enhancing the country’s border management capabilities.
