Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ActionSA said while it agrees with Operation Dudula\u2019s message against illegal foreigners, it doesn\u2019t condone its methods.<\/p>\n

The controversial civil group turned political party has recently come under fire for barricading the entrances of public health facilities and blocking foreign nationals from accessing them.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Johannesburg High Court interdicted Operation Dudula from doing this and ordered the police to enforce the law against the group.<\/p>\n

According to the latest census data, there are about 2.4 million people of foreign descent living in South Africa, less than 4% of the country\u2019s total population.<\/p>\n

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba said as the Mayor of Johannesburg, he was vilified for raising concern over the rise of illegal immigration into the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are, seven or so years later, everyone is talking openly about illegal foreigners that they are a curse to our nation. We have to deal with them, but we have to deal with them within the legal framework. One of the core values of ActionSA is the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mashaba said he recently met with Operation Dudula leaders and told them to work within the country\u2019s Constitution to achieve their objections.<\/p>\n

He said ActionSA is also doing the same within Parliament, provincial legislatures and the municipal councils where it\u2019s represented.<\/p>\n
