Today in Cape Town, Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber announced the launch of Operation New Broom, a targeted initiative aimed at restoring law and order by addressing illegal immigration in South Africa.

The operation is part of a broader national strategy to enforce immigration laws using an intelligence-led approach, focusing on removing undocumented immigrants from public spaces.

“To restore the rule of law, we are concentrating on high-risk areas across the country to arrest, prosecute, and deport illegal immigrants occupying public spaces,” Minister Schreiber stated in a post on social media platform X. He emphasized that the operation relies on legal, intelligence-based, and technology-driven solutions.

Led by the Department of Home Affairs, the initiative responds to long-standing concerns from local communities about undocumented immigrants settling in public areas without proper documentation or access to services. Issues such as safety risks, strained public resources, and perceived lax enforcement of immigration laws have fueled public frustration.

This morning, #TeamHomeAffairs launched 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 in Cape Town. To restore rule of law, we’re focusing on hotspots across SA to arrest, convict and deport illegal immigrants occupying public spaces. Lawful, intel-led, tech-driven solutions in action! 🇿🇦 pic.twitter.com/du6tgaMMCr

A Data-Driven and Lawful Approach

Officials clarified that Operation New Broom is not a random or reactive sweep but a carefully planned effort grounded in verified intelligence and advanced technology. The government is utilizing geo-mapping, data analysis, and smart monitoring systems to identify high-risk zones and carry out precise interventions.

Minister Schreiber stressed that the operation aims to be measured, accurate, and respectful of human rights while ensuring unauthorized individuals are removed from public spaces. He noted the importance of balancing law enforcement with the protection of innocent people.

Nationwide Expansion and Local Coordination

While the operation launched in Cape Town, it forms part of a wider national effort. Minister Schreiber indicated that similar enforcement actions will be rolled out in other cities with high rates of illegal occupation of public spaces.

The Department of Home Affairs is working closely with local governments and law enforcement to ensure effective implementation. Communities can expect increased patrols, coordinated raids in targeted areas, and faster processing of immigration cases to facilitate deportations when necessary.

Restoring Public Trust

The move comes amid growing calls in South Africa for stricter border control and internal immigration enforcement. Operation New Broom represents the government’s effort to address these concerns directly, aiming to rebuild public confidence and demonstrate its commitment to upholding the law.

“Access to safe and well-maintained public spaces is a basic right,” Schreiber said. “We are enforcing immigration control seriously and correctly—guided by law and data. This operation sends a clear message.”

Looking Ahead

Operation New Broom marks a significant step in South Africa’s approach to illegal immigration, combining intelligence, policy enforcement, and technology. While reactions have been mixed—with some praising the government’s firm stance and others raising human rights concerns—the Ministry has emphasized strategic precision and adherence to legal standards.

Officials have pledged transparency and a commitment to minimizing unintended consequences while ensuring compliance with the law as the operation continues in the coming weeks.

“We are sweeping clean—lawfully, intelligently, and effectively,” Minister Schreiber concluded.
