6. `South Africans do not want the jobs that are being performed by immigrants` says Athandiwe Saba. 
No matter where you talk about the lack of jobs that South Africans are facing or the skyrocketing crime rate, the bottom line is that the words `illegal` and `immigrant` will come up. There are a large number of people from other countries who are here without proper documentation and are competing with citizens for everything; jobs; service delivery; and are also involved in crimes such as pickpocketing, cash transit heists, and ATM bombing, which are negatively affecting the economy of this country.

South Africa aims to attract close to 29,000 Indian visitors in 2022, a 64 percent year-on-year increase over 2021, said Neliswa Nkani, hub head, MEISEA, South African Tourism.
Among the many international markets eyeing Indian visitors to boost tourism is South Africa, which expects double-digit growth in arrivals from India in 2022 over 2021.
Details of how Home Affairs planned to reduce queues were laid out by Minister Aaron Motsoaledi in his budget vote speech, but he largely dodged South Africa’s immigration fiasco, simply saying a complete overhaul was in the offing as the main opposition parties gave him short shrift over our poorly managed, porous borders.
In his budget vote speech on Tuesday, Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi outlined a 12-point plan to increase efficiency and reduce the long queues outside the department’s offices â€` but chronic staff shortages will remain. SA
