Chairperson of the African Diaspora Forum says the continent needs to acknowledge its problems.
African countries need to acknowledge the reasons why their citizens are migrating and deal with it instead of leaving it up to South Africa to deal with them.
“We need to look at the problem causing people to run away from their home countries to South Africa. We need governments to acknowledge that there is a problem in their country … and find ways of dealing with it”. Home Affairs Minister Siyabonga Cwele said South Africa was spending “significant amounts of money” annually on deporting illegal immigrants back to their home countries.“People are trafficked into SA. We have a problem of people coming in illegally.”
