Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba has told South Africa’s Eyewitness News he wants to enforce the deportation of undocumented foreigners in the city by taking action in court.
Mr Mashaba criticised South Africa’s home affairs ministry:
“We’re under chaos now, people are running all over the show with no documentation, so I want to bring back the rule of law.”
He said his lawyers will be launching a High Court application against Home Affairs Minister Ayanda Dlodlo next week.
Mr Mashaba wants to improve Johannesburg’s central business district, and told Eyewitness News that he only has a duty to provide housing to people evicted from buildings in the area if they are South African nationals.
