'We have been very welcoming to our nationals from other parts of the world,' said president, Cyril Ramaphosa.

He said it was unfortunate that “sometimes it manifests itself though people being injured and arrested, and it is often unfortunate that some people lose their lives. We always take care to make sure the challenges that manifest themselves in the way people feel, sometimes fearful of people from other nations, are challenges we address and try to reduce as much as possible.”

Like any other country, Ramaphosa said SA faced challenges around how people from other nations enter the country, but “we want to treat people from other countries as well as we can, as we have always done as South Africans”. “It so happens that SA has become more attractive to many people across the continent and the world, particularly after the end of apartheid, because it had created a barrier and many people from our continent could not visit SA.”

Once the government brought an end to apartheid, “SA was open and some people come under the fence. They come in illegally," said the president. “Every country would like people to be well-treated and documented. It is something we are continuously discussing with our sister countries so our migration processes are well managed.”

Apparently the ordinary citizens don't share the same view...

We have been too welcoming to ungrateful parasites
