Ramaphosa to address nation on migration action plan

President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation on the country's approach to managing migration, according to Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

The cabinet received and approved a comprehensive approach to migration that was developed by an inter-ministerial committee and has also approved the national action plan country report on migration in South Africa, Ntshavheni said at a media briefing on Friday.

She did not say when Ramaphosa will speak on the matter.

The announcement comes after a recent wave of anti-immigrant demonstrations has revived concerns about xenophobic violence in South Africa, where migrants are targeted in a climate of high unemployment and overstretched basic services.
