Cyril Ramaphosa: “As we work to build a safer, more stable and more prosperous society, we need to address the challenge of migration.”

We must be clear: every person in South Africa – whether they are citizens or foreign nationals – must respect our laws, and the rights of every person in our country must be upheld.

True patriotism does not require us to hide injustice.

South Africans are not xenophobic. South Africans are Africans. They want to live with other Africans peacefully.

There is no place for racism in our country, no place for sexism, for xenophobia, for Afrophobia, or any other form of intolerance.
