The issue of illegal immigration in South Africa is once again making headlines across the country. Every day hundreds of illegal immigrants are smuggled into the country through different illegal routes, and this act is now directly affecting well meaning citizens.
Illegal immigrants have proven themselves to be a menace, but because of politics the EFF and other parties are not ready to admit the truth.
Yesterday, a number one of certified doctors took to the street to protest that their jobs are being given to foreign nationals stuffed expenses of their own employment. Quit a number of South African doctors are sitting at home with no jobs to work, some are surviving only on the Social Relief of Distress Grant of R350, while the South African health system is facing a shortage of workers.
Unfortunately instead of using qualified citizens to fill the vacant posts, the government is employing foreign national doctors, some with fraudulent qualifications. Meanwhile, there have been reports of these foreign doctors sexually abusing their helpless patients and this is one of the issues the Minister of Health must address.
The worst thing about this issue is that South Africans employers are choosing to exploit illegal immigrants out of breed, then employ trusted and well educated South African citizens. There is a defaming motion making rounds on social media. According to some foreign nationals, South Africans are too lazy to work and illegal immigrants are here to do jobs an average South African will reject without having second thoughts.
Mzansi, what are your thoughts concerning this development? Do you think illegal immigrants have the right to acquire any form of employment in South Africa, and that South Africans are just too lazy to work?
