South Africa's Cabinet unveils new measures for labour inspections and deportations

South Africa's Cabinet has introduced new measures aimed at strengthening labor inspections, establishing specialized immigration courts, and improving border security as part of the government's broader strategy to manage migration. These actions follow President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of a five-pillar migration strategy. The Cabinet praised South Africans who participated in peaceful protests against unregulated migration and acknowledged the role of law enforcement in maintaining order. Increased labor inspections are being conducted at businesses suspected of employing undocumented foreign workers, coordinated by deputy ministers from Employment and Labour, Home Affairs, and Police. Specialized immigration courts have been set up in Durban, at OR Tambo International Airport, and at the Lindela Repatriation Center to expedite immigration cases and deportations. The government emphasized orderly and lawful deportations while collaborating with countries of origin to ensure dignified repatriation. Additionally, a temporary repatriation center was established to assist in processing undocumented migrants, supported by non-profit organizations providing humanitarian aid.
