Johnson said Masebe, who was a principled, disciplined and seasoned cadre of the ANC, died before he could join the fight against illegal immigrants.

Mlungisi Lulu Johnson has shown support for Dr Aaron Motsoaledi's call to rid the country of illegal foreign immigrants.Former ANCYL president Mlungisi 'Lulu' Johnson has thrown his weight behind home affairs minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi who has called for the flushing out of all undocumented foreign nationals in the country and emphasised that the late former treasurer general of the league, Thabo Masebe, would have done the same.

Motsoaledi has been brazen about his mission to rid the country of illegal foreigners, saying they should be arrested and deported. “Equally, drug-peddling [by foreigners] must be nipped in the bud with no bail expected. Those perpetrators must be locked up and keys thrown into the sea,” he went on. “Should any SA police members be found to be collaborating with these criminals, they equally must denied any bail and stiff sentences must be meted out. That shall be the beginning of law and order in our motherland, something we fought so hard for.

“You never ran away from the ANC, either to form another party or join those who shout revolutionary-sounding slogans the most. Some are indicating to the left while turning right,” said Johnson.
