Why South Africa Regrets Its Liberal Post-apartheid Asylum Laws by DAVIDELUXED: 1:29pm On Nov 15, 2023
please south africans on this platform whata gwan. has xenophobia accomplished anything for you guys.
you blame your economic woes on fellow african yet spare your corrupt leaders.



With xenophobia rising in South Africa as its economic crisis deepens, Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has announced plans to toughen asylum and immigration laws in a move that will have far-reaching consequences for foreign nationals who seek political or economic refuge in the country.

His proposals are contained in a document, known as a White Paper, which has been released for public discussion as the first step towards adopting legislation that will mark a decisive break with the more embracing policy that the government - led by the African National Congress (ANC) - championed after it took power at the end of the racist system of apartheid in 1994.

In a sign of the extent to which he envisages changes, Dr Motsoaledi said the government had made a "serious mistake" about two years later when it signed up to international agreements - such as the UN's refugee convention - without seeking exemptions from certain clauses.

This was unlike many other countries, which opted out of clauses giving asylum-seekers and refugees the same rights as their citizens - including the right to employment and education for their children, he said.

LMFAO. First tell us what tribalism and religious bigotry has accomplished for you? You destroy your country by voting for useless tribalists and when they make your lives a living hell, you run off to other countries to play victim grin. Why dont you hold your own leaders and citizens accountable for the problems you are trying to escape instead of going to be a nuisance elsewhere? Charity begins at home they say grin. You play too much cheesy
