Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba said migrants play a positive contribution in the country.
He was speaking at the Mkhaya
Migrants awards earlier today.
Minister Gigaba emphasised that
South Africans need to understand that it is wrong to urge that migrants are a burden
on the South African economy and our social services.
Minister Gigaba explained the four
important contributions of migration in any society.
“One it’s in relation to
economic development whether by investors or people living in the country and
contributing critical skills. Secondly they enhance your national security by
entering your country as documented migrants and respecting your law. Thirdly immigrants
contribute towards your social cohesion and nation building. And finally they
contribute towards integrating South Africa into the African continent as well
as the world at large” Gigaba added.
