South African President Cyril Ramaphosa cautioned against blaming migrants for the country’s challenges, acknowledging the issue of illegal immigration but asserting that South Africa must resolve its own problems. He stated that while his administration is actively working to address illegal immigration, the root causes of difficulties within the nation are internal and require domestic solutions. The President’s comments come amid rising anti-immigrant sentiment and related tensions within South Africa. He emphasized the nation’s responsibility to fix its own issues rather than attributing them to foreign nationals. This statement signals a potential shift in rhetoric, aiming to de-escalate blame directed towards migrant communities. The remarks were made as the government continues to implement measures to manage immigration flows. Further details regarding specific actions to address both immigration and internal issues were not immediately available.
