National Council of Provinces voice disapproval of xenophobia in South Africa
The Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, (NCOP), Hon. Thandi Modise, has observed with grave concern, attacks levelled against foreign nationals living in South Africa over recent weeks. As such, adds the voice of the NCOP to the growing condemnation of attacks on African immigrants living in South Africa.
“As the NCOP, our mandate is to be a vibrant people’s assemble that intervenes and transforms society and the development challenges of our people. We therefore cannot stand by and watch as our country degenerates into chaos by a few unruly criminal elements,” said Hon. Modise.
As such, Hon Modise calls upon all South Africans to support efforts taken by government and civil society in the protection of all foreign nations living in our country.
With Freedom Day drawing close, Hon Modise, reminds South Africans that the freedom and liberties we enjoy today came on the back drop of a milieu of bloodshed, suffering and distress. Thus, reinforces the message by Hon President Jacob Zuma of the pivotal role played by Africa towards the attainment of our liberation and freedom.
