The hiring of an additional 301 immigration officers will take the current number from 868 to 1,169.

Home affairs to hire more than 300 immigration officers

The department of home affairs is set to employ an additional 301 immigration officers across the country to strengthen immigration enforcement capacity.

A united front of political parties and civic groups took to the streets of Durban on Wednesday, calling for tighter immigration controls and the large-scale removal of undocumented migrants. Organised by March and March, the protest brought together multiple political organisations, whose leaders argued that illegal immigration is placing increasing pressure on jobs, public safety and the country’s economic capacity.

Tensions flared when protesters attempted to defy police directions during the march, leading to moments of unrest. The demonstration, which included ActionSA, uMkhonto we Sizwe, the Inkatha Freedom Party and the National Freedom Party, also saw protesters cause a commotion outside ANC offices in Durban, accusing the ruling party of contributing to the country’s illegal immigration challenges.
