Title A name given to the resource MIGRANTS, CRIMINALS AND STATE SECURITY CONCERNS IN CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICA: THE IMPLICATIONS OF LABELLING ON MIGRANT POLICY AND PRACTICE IN SOUTH AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GIFT MASENGWE BEKITHEMBA DUBE Description An account of the resource This article discusses the policy aims of the South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA) because it exposes foreign nationals, women and migrants to differential treatment in South Africa today. The study involved migrant labourers in Polokwane and Gauteng working on the farms, mines and industries. Economic opportunities offered by South Africa after 1994 turned it into a migrant-receiving country, requiring legal control to potential visitors, refugees or foreign labourers to avert the problem of fugitives running away from the law. Participants for the qualitative study were randomly and conveniently drawn from a sample of Zimbabweans and Mozambicans. Media Assisted Interviews (MAIs) also Mobile Instant Messaging Interviews (MIMIs) used a mobile messenger, WhatsApp in the study. Participants ranged from those with expired visas to those without passports at all. The study established a correlation between the contemporary immigration policy and the South African Apartheid Aliens Control Act of 1991 that restricted foreign African nationals but did not restrict white foreign nationals. The South African immigration policy has justified both politicians and nationals to act violently against foreign African nationals causing great turmoil among migrants in South Africa. The study found out that South Africa’s immigration policy criminalises all migrants and securitises nationals through fear by reports such as the seven percent proportion of children of foreign natives born in South Africa becoming native foreigners. This study is couched in new discourses of decoloniality by emphasising on use of regional, continental, and international templates to benchmark progressive immigration policy aims for South Africa.
