They said government has failed to put South Africans first and have called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants as well as the revoking of grants and other state benefits.

Various organisations including “Only One SA” and South Africa First have handed over a memorandum of demands at the Nigerian Embassy following a march through the Pretoria CBD.

Action for change’s Nandi Gachwari said their demands were clear.

“We demand an end to human trafficking in Pretoria and, broadly, South Africa; the deportation of all illegal immigrants; the exposure of corruption in flawed Home Affairs processes that grant citizenship to undeserving foreign nationals,” they said.

The organization vowed to return to the streets if their demands were not met.

Confirming the development, High Commissioner Kabiru Bala said, although he accepted the memorandum, it was unfair that only Nigerians should be blamed for South Africa’s social and economic ills.
