During his address on Monday, president Cyril Ramaphosa urged employers to stop hiring undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa. 

Ramaphosa also said that employers should “Employ our people, train them and treat them well.”

Ramaphosa said when employers knowingly hire undocumented foreign workers, they are breaking the law. They are contributing towards social tensions between South Africans and foreign nationals who either live in South Africa or have taken refuge.

“We should not allow ourselves to be at war with people who come from countries beyond our borders. It’s unSouth African,” he said.
