He says the DA has a comprehensive plan to immediately plug our porous borders and reform the home affairs department to rid it of its debilitating corruption and incompetence.

The leader of the Democratic Alliance Mmusi Maimane on Saturday blamed the ruling African National Congress for South Africa’s “porous borders” which he said had allowed “Gaddafi’s millions” to unlawfully enter and leave the country.

On Saturday morning Maimane said: “Our border posts, such as the one near here at Jeppes Reef, are meant to protect South Africans and their interests, whether it be from cross-border crime, drug trafficking, illegal immigration or the illicit flow of money. But they don’t. Instead they are weak and vulnerable to exploitation, and pose a risk to all South Africans.

Maimane said when the DA makes the call for more secure borders and better documentation of all people entering our country, it is because “we are acting in the interest of those who are most affected: poor South Africans”. He said the DA, on the other hand, has a comprehensive plan to immediately plug our porous borders and reform the home affairs department to rid it of its debilitating corruption and incompetence.

“We will review the number and size of border posts to increase the number of points of legal entry and exit, and we will ensure effective and coordinated border security through increased policing capacity at our border posts and along our borders.
