DA leader John Steenhuisen believes it is the ANC-led government’s inability to run a competent home affairs department that has led to the continued xenophobic violence in the country. | City_Press
This comes a week after Zimbabwean national, Elvis Nyathi, was killed by a mob in Diepsloot Extension 1. Violence had been brewing in the informal settlement after protests over ineffective policing. The demonstrations became violent when a mob started targeting foreign nationals living in the area.“I think President [Cyril Ramaphosa] is putting fault on the wrong foot and should be sorting out the home affairs department.
When Steenhuisen and his team arrived, surprisingly the queues were not as long as usual. Instead, there were two mobile service desks operating outside the building. The reinforcements were brought in to ensure that people are assisted swiftly. The leader of the opposition then spoke to the department’s Johannesburg district manager Mamokubung Moroke about the slow service in processing documents for foreign nationals.Home Affairs Minister [Aaron Motsoaledi] has explained all the attempts to assist with the system and we are working on this. I agree that we can only be measured by what people are saying and I must say that the waiting times are longer than what is expected and that is dependent on the systems.
