They include ministers Mamoloko Kubayi from Justice and Constitutional Development, Ronald Lamola from International Relations and Firoz Cachalia from Police. President Cyril Ramaphosa established the committee to spearhead government’s five-pillar strategy to tackle migrations issues.

Protesters in Tembisa, east of Johannesburg, have dispersed after handing over a memorandum at the Tembisa Police Station. The marchers were led by anti-crime activist and Action SA mayoral candidate for Ekurhuleni, Xolani Khumalo, and various anti-undocumented immigrant groups. They are raising concerns over high levels of crime in the area. They say the police are not doing much about the problem. They are also raising the issue of undocumented foreigners.
