WATCH: 'There will not be illegal immigrants in SA' - Malema clarifies open border policy
EFF leader Julius Malema moved to clarify the party's open border policy on Saturday.
Malema addressed the EFF's final campaign rally ahead of Wednesday's general elections at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
Malema's comments come amid criticism from some South Africans that the EFF wants illegal immigrants to flock into the country.
However, Malema said the policy had been misinterpreted.
"it is not true. There is no border that is going to be opened immediately. We will work on it gradually because we have a duty to unite the whole of Africa.
“It is not something you wake up and just say I don't care about what is here.
“Comrades, there will not be illegal immigrants in South Africa. Everybody in South Africa is going to be documented, whether they came here, for whatever reason, we are going to be an Africa-friendly country.”
