President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized the need for a balanced approach to migration during his speech at the Pan-African Parliament, urging South Africa and other African nations to enforce immigration laws while safeguarding the rights and dignity of migrants. He highlighted rising concerns over illegal migration and anti-migrant sentiments fueled by misinformation and prejudice. Ramaphosa stressed that lawful migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers should not be conflated with those violating immigration laws and should not be scapegoated for societal issues like unemployment and crime.

Additionally, he underscored the importance of regional cooperation on issues like water security and democratic governance.
