Summarization
Action4SA and the Ekuruleni Caucus are leading the fight against illegal immigration and hijacked buildings. Home affairs, SAPoliceService, the SANDF_ZA, and other government bodies are involved in the effort. PSAFLIVE has been warning of the vulnerability of South Africa to illegal immigration for years and calling on government bodies to take action. Private prosecution against the government is encouraged to hold them accountable when crimes are committed by illegal foreigners. Low skill jobs are suggested to be reserved exclusively for South African citizens in order to fight illegal immigration more effectively. The Zimbabwean illegal immigrants are emphasized as the most dangerous and it is called out that Malema calls them more educated than South Africans. Finally, it is suggested that leaders become accountable for the countryโs issues or the people will take matters into their own hands.
