Ministers in South Africa have raised concerns over the increasing exploitation of undocumented migrants, warning that it is harming labor standards and creating social tensions. International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola highlighted during a discussion on Africa’s economic development that such practices are undermining lawful businesses and eroding legal protections. The issue has gained attention as South Africa continues to attract migrants from across the continent seeking employment opportunities. Lamola emphasized the need for employers to comply with labor laws and avoid practices that put undocumented workers at risk. The warning comes amid ongoing challenges in managing migration and ensuring fair labor conditions.
