The South African president said that multiple measures will be taken to address the issue of illegal immigration.

South African President Ramaphosa delivered a national address on the evening of the 7th, announcing a series of measures to combat illegal immigration, while calling on the public to handle the immigration issue rationally and avoid escalating violent incidents. Since late April, protests against immigrants have erupted in several South African cities, including Johannesburg, Durban, and Pretoria. Some protesters blame issues such as high unemployment rates and the depletion of public resources on foreign citizens, including illegal immigrants, leading to violent incidents.
