@MmusiMaimane says securing borders doesn’t mean expelling migrants but documenting everyone@ewnupdates pic.twitter.com/MZcJSmmVsG
He said that securing borders doesn't mean anyone should be kicked out, but all migrants should be documented
Maimane's stance differs from Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba who has blamed migrants for the poor state of the city.
“Wherever we go when we talk about border management, no one is saying that anyone should be kicked out. What we are simply saying is that let’s make sure everyone is properly registered so that citizens get access to the right healthcare with the right biometrics and the right system,” Maimane said.
