Protesters demand removal of foreign workers at Boksburg company, defying Ramaphosa’s warning

# Protesters from several Ekurhuleni townships in Gauteng marched to a logistics company in Boksburg, demanding the dismissal of foreign national employees. The march went ahead despite president Cyril Ramaphosa’s warning that only government officials can enforce immigration laws. According to News24, the company stated its foreign employees are legally employed and claimed the protest was organised by former workers who were dismissed. Both sides have agreed to meet next Wednesday to discuss the matter.
