Gayton McKenzie Calls for Mass Deportation of Illegal Immigrants, Citing Economic Harm

Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie has reignited the debate over illegal immigration in South Africa, calling for the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. According to McKenzie, illegal immigrants are significantly harming the economy, particularly through VAT avoidance and unfair competition with local businesses.

In a recent statement, McKenzie argued that many foreign nationals operate businesses without the necessary documentation, allowing them to evade value-added taxes (VAT) that would otherwise contribute to the South African economy. He claimed that these unregistered businesses undercut legitimate ones by offering goods and services at lower prices, creating an uneven playing field.

McKenzie also alleged that some undocumented immigrants are evading taxes by moving money out of the country. His stance aligns with the PA’s broader goal of prioritizing South Africans for economic opportunities. The party’s “Abahambe” campaign—which roughly translates to “they must go”—has resonated with some citizens frustrated by crime and unemployment, issues often blamed on illegal immigration.

The PA leader argues that stricter immigration enforcement would create more jobs and economic opportunities for locals. However, his views have sparked criticism, with opponents accusing him of xenophobia and oversimplifying South Africa’s complex economic challenges. Critics point out that undocumented immigrants contribute to the economy in other ways, such as through labor and indirect taxes paid on everyday purchases.

Analysts also warn that mass deportations could disrupt industries reliant on migrant labor, potentially causing further economic strain. Despite the backlash, McKenzie remains steadfast, urging the government to take swift action. He has called for faster deportations, stricter business regulations, and tighter border controls to mitigate the economic impact of illegal immigration.

McKenzie’s hardline stance continues to polarize South Africans amid ongoing debates over immigration policy. While some support his calls for stricter measures, others emphasize the need for balanced solutions that address economic challenges without fostering division or xenophobia.

As the discussion unfolds, the broader implications of McKenzie’s proposals remain a topic of heated debate, highlighting the complexities of immigration and its impact on South Africa’s economy and society.
