South Africa Unveils Proposals for Major Immigration Overhaul.

South Africa has proposed an overhaul of its citizenship, immigration, and refugee laws in an effort to simplify and streamline the system. The country currently sees around 20,000 undocumented immigrants arriving each year and is home to almost 4 million migrants. The government believes that the current laws do not adequately address the migration crisis and is considering withdrawing from the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol. The proposed changes include replacing multiple acts with a single law, streamlining the immigration system, and establishing an advisory board on immigration. However, the issue of immigration remains contentious, with some locals expressing resentment towards foreigners. [Extracted from the article]
