UDM Chief Whip Nqabayomzi
Kwankwa has written to the Speaker of Parliament Baleka Mbete stating that the
violent crimes that have been committed against foreign nationals in the
country, if not nipped in the bud is likely to escalate into a vicious fight or
a full blown genocide.
Meanwhile over a thousand
people are expected to march through the streets of Durban
Kwankwa said we feel as
politicians and as parliament, we should lead a debate on this very important
matter in order to influence the public opinions.
Kwankwa said we cannot sit
back when South Africans and humans beings are killing one another just for the
simple reason that others do not belong here or are not citizens of this
country.
“It is wrong and we have to
make our voices heard as political leaders and as South Africans”, Kwankwa
added.
