Everyone must march against undocumented immigrants – ANC
The ANC has called on different sectors of society to join the picket lines in the fight against undocumented immigrants.
The party held a picket outside the Krugersdorp Magistrate's Court on Wednesday to voice its opposition to the release on bail of a group of suspected illegal miners in the area.
The men were arrested in the wake of the gang rape of eight women last week while they were shooting a music video at a mine dump in West Village.
ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe called on all political formations to stand up against the influx of undocumented migrants.
"We need everyone, we need people of colour even in the DA, not only Africans, everyone must march black or white. We can't be having people having boards [placards] written 'Bheki Cele Must Go' when we are supposed to be fighting against rape.
"South Africa is not a playground, we are a very serious country. Those who are foreign nationals and are in the country illegally have to be taken back home. We cannot afford crimes committed by foreign nationals who are undocumented.
"We don't have a problem with foreign nationals as long as they are legal. The ANC in Gauteng is mounting a big programme actually they started last week with a day of prayer,” added Mabe.
