“The majority of our youth are unemployed. I think Operation Dudula is a very dangerous movement because they saw a gap in that, they started hyping South Africans’ emotions and we are saying as the ANC that it is inhuman what they are doing.”
He said members of Operation Dudula “are not law enforcement officers” and “can’t just harass individuals in the street”.
“They should not be harassed. Those Dudula people must go to school, get skills, instead of marching and harassing foreign nationals. It is unacceptable.”He added that the ANC must educate its people about SA’s place in Africa and home affairs must be “fixed”.Thulas Nxesi“All we are saying is that Dudula must come to us ... and put in their proposals so that we are able to deal with this matter in an amicable way.
“We are dealing with that particular matter and the way to do it is to regulate it properly because we are a human rights country. We are a country which has signed a number of international obligations on how to deal with refugees. They also have human rights, we cannot treat them like animals.”
