Schreiber Targets Illegal Workers On South African Farms, Restuarants, Spaza Shops, Mines
9 months agoMon, 15 Jul 2024 11:17:35 GMT
South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber has announced a crackdown on illegal employment in the country.
Schreiber has pledged to significantly step up inspections at various businesses across the country, including restaurants, spaza shops, farms, and mines, to identify and take action against those found to be illegally employed.
Schreiber stated that the government’s focus will be on deporting any individuals who are discovered to be working in South Africa without the proper legal authorisation or documentation. Said Schreiber:
In the coming year, Home Affairs will increase the number of inspections at restuarants, spaza shops, farms and mines by over 50% in order to take action against people illegally employed including through deportations.
South Africa is grappling with a concerning issue of illegal immigration and the employment of undocumented foreign nationals within its borders.
Reports suggest that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are currently engaged in various sectors of the South African economy, despite the clear prohibitions outlined in the country’s Immigration Act and Employment Services Act.
The Department of Home Affairs has emphasized the responsibilities of employers in this matter. Businesses are required to make a genuine effort to verify the immigration status and work authorization of their foreign employees.
This includes checking for valid work visas or permits through the appropriate channels, as well as conducting regular immigration audits to ensure compliance.
Failure to meet these obligations can result in significant penalties for employers. Under the existing legal framework, those found in violation of the Immigration Act may face hefty fines or even imprisonment.

Guys just go home illegal in south Africa means black . What was the point of xenophobia? The agenda was you fellow Africans are getting their jobs so after attacking illegal they're also coming to you who think you're there to stay. We lost so many brothers and sisters who had work permits during xenophobia UpTo now no compansation
Zambia played a big role for South African independence but our brothers we killed in south Africa because now they are illegal foreigners. Did Thobo mbeki had even passport the time they where hiding for this pink nosed ****s . White people grabbed your land and you are still fighting to work for them in their farms which is your land .
I feel for Mozambicans , malawians these are people who are still in the slavery to the same whites in south Africa

I think its time that foreigners must stop resisting . They have to accept that they are illegally here and accept to go. And also neighbouring countries have to work up and do something for their people. It's a wake up.call and leaders from neighbouring countries have to start acting and improve their economies. SA has done its part and kept the whole burden on its own for all illegal foreigners for decades. No xenophobia is acceptable the SA government must come up with a concrete plan of getting rid of all these people.

So sad an African broe is called a foreigner in an African soil,by a white settler. White people are the the real foreigner. Not our African brothers. If you are black staying in America, Europe or Asia, you can't call a white or an Asian in his own continent. It's disrespectful to them. But here in Africa white people or Asian they can address our black brothers as foreigners. And we black people we are proud of that. It's self hatred. May God help us 💔💔

Minister, why don't you start empowering by boosting spaza shops an other small businesses before you attack their own efforts.??. They started their small businesses an carry on with their struggling businesses but now you want to destroy them before they even becoming good businesses that can start boosting the economy.??.
Minister please don't forget how looting started, it started from politics an by politicians, please people are all hungry an hungry people get angry quickly., please do a good research that will bring upgrade but not down grade by collapsing the small businesses an attacking township economy.
Stop being xenophobic an adress the poverty, anc is supported by most black people becoz it is not dividing them, South Africans small businesses respect the rules of the laws an love their country, please help them instead of harassing an destroying what they have started by themselves without any help from anyone.
Remember that the country is still under heavy stress an frustrations of poverty, lack of jobs, eskom an expensive food, please don't kill the fire by pouring petrol ontop of the burning fire in the struggling country that Mr Mandela lived an died for..

The government allows the Chinese to come in this country lock stock and barrell. They bring their goods containers full, are allowed to open shops everywhere, live on the business premises. They employ their own people, and our SA communit are treated like scum. One of these we won't have shops anymore bcos chinese are allowed to sell direct to public. All money go out of the country.

I cannot agree more, the white foreigners are welcomed in South Africa, from China, Europe etc.
The Chinese especially flooded the market in SA with cheap and inferior goods undercutting the manufacturing sector, so much so that clothing factories had to lay down workers and some even had to close down.
Pre 1994, the Apartheid government supported and financed white foreigners ie, the Portuguese, Greek, s etc, helping them to start business and us who were born here were never gave such support and were treated as 3rd class citizens.
I know that there are some "so called foreigners" that are here illegally and some of them are engaging in crime, and those culprits must be apprehended and convicted.
We cannot generalize and make a blanket statement by saying all Zimbabweans, all Nigerians are crooks.
Only those that never traveled in the continent of Africa can make statements like that.
I've visited several countries in Africa and as a South African I only received 100% hospitality from my fellow African, s.
Let us be their for 1 another my African brother & Sister, never forget the strategy the coloniallists has used ver effectively, "Divide & Rule

Why does South Africa have to carry the burden of illegal immigrants, who in turn contribute to violent crime and infrastructure theft. I believe we should have an app/ website to report suspected illegals. They should go home, aba hambe and leave the jobs to South Africans 😒

I beg to differ with the narrative that illegal immigrants are taking jobs,,, I used to have a tender in the construction industry,,, when we wanted to hire people, those who are available most of the time it's foreign nationals,,, our people will be crying that there don't have jobs sitting at home,, companies won't come to your door step to hire you,,, the law is clear you must hire people who are documented,,, the question we must ask ourselves is where were our citizens when the foreigners were hired,, let's ponder on that

Yes as a white man he can say so, people need to have proper documentation. But with how corrupt South Africans are especially those working in government departments, will wait to see if they'll be successful in flushing all foreigners out.
2. These white business owners really enjoy employing foreigners because
- they work hard to earn
-they agree on pay cut, thereby employer make huge profits
-these illegal work force don't have legal representatives incase of work termination & benefits

WE ARE TASTING THE SOUR GRAPES OF A REVIVAL OF APARTHEID AND RACIST POLICIES. RSA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. THEY JOINED RACIST WHITES, FORMER COLONIALISTS TO FORM A SATANIC ALLIANCE ,NOW AFRICAN COMPATRIOTS ARE IN DANGER. WHITES WHO BY NATURE ARE TRUE FOREIGNERS, ARE REVERSING THE TRUTH AND SUBJECTING THE REAL NATURAL INDEGENOUS AFRICAN AS THE FOREIGNER. WHITES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SHIPPED BACK TO EUROPE AND LIVE THE AFRICAN PEOPLE TO DECIDE THEIR OWN DESTINY. ITS VERY PAINFUL TO BE TOLD THAT YOU ARE FOREIGN BY A WHITE MAN ON AN AFRICAN SOIL, VERY PAINFUL INDEED. IF IT WAS IN EUROPE, I WOULD NOT MIND AT ALL.SI INCH BY INCH, WE ARE GOING BACK TO APARTHEID PASSES!!!
