Xasa added that undocumented foreign nationals were putting a strain on social services in the country and taking advantage of South Africa's subscriptions to various international treaties on immigration.
This is according to deputy minister of finance and deputy chairman of the ANC sub-committee on social transformation Mondli Gungubele‚ who was speaking during a manifesto briefing at Luthuli House on Sunday.
He said the national government was attending to this issue because the country's economy was anchored by the contributions of people who come from outside the country to invest in the land. Said Gungubele:"If you look at the history of the South African economy‚ its anchor has a lot of people from outside.
"By the way‚ if I am not to be controversial‚ we are criticised that people who do not add anything to our economy have easy access‚ but those who want to add have a difficult access. But those are some of the things national government is attending to." Gungubele was co-hosting the briefing with fellow ANC social transformation committee members Thokozile Xasa‚ Angie Motshekga and Nocawe Mafu.
