Question NW902 to the Minister of Home Affairs
07 October 2019 - NW902
Roos, Mr AC to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether he will engage with the executive mayors of metropolitan municipalities to conduct special operation raids to combat illegal immigration, as has been done recently in the City of Johannesburg; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Minister has engaged with municipal structures on matters of migration and will do so on a continuous basis.
Joint and special operations to combat illegal migration are planned and conducted by law enforcement agencies at national, provincial and local level through inter-governmental security structures. All metro municipalities are represented in local security, provincial and national structures such as the Provincial Joint Operational Structures (PROVJOINTS) and the National structure (NATJOINTS).
