ActionSA MPs Visit Mpumalanga Borders Amid Immigration Concerns

Illegal crossings, cross-border crime, and overwhelmed local services, those are just some of the challenges ActionSA MPs witnessed during their oversight visit to Mpumalanga’s Mananga and Lebombo Border Posts. Joined by Border Management Authority Commissioner Dr Michael Masiapato, the visit was part of ActionSA’s ongoing push to assess how South Africa’s borders are managed and what funding and legislative reforms are needed to secure them. MP Lerato Ngobeni speaks to Phemelo to share what the delegation uncovered - and what it means for communities living on the frontlines of SA’s border crisis.
