Summary
Dean Macpherson called on South African law enforcement to identify and act against people inciting violence and hatred toward migrants, saying the state must protect vulnerable communities.
Johannesburg remarks from the public works minister paired that demand with a call to enforce immigration laws, framing both as government responsibilities.
Macpherson said attacks on migrants are damaging South Africa’s international reputation, making the crackdown not only a security issue but also a diplomatic and image concern.
