Shortly before the meeting, BONUS spoke to Vincent Kunutu, the chairperson of Seshego Against Crime and Gangsterism forum about Operation Dudula in Limpopo.
He said by gathering, their aim is to force the government to tighten immigration by-laws.
“We are experiencing the same problem as in other provinces, with the influx of illegal migrants without proper documentation. We need to force government, especially Home Affairs to implement and regulate their policies”.

He added that it was important that they select a leadership structure that will understand the constitution of the national office to avoid people causing harm to others in the name of Dudula.
Among the candidates elected to be part of the provincial executive directors of Dudula are Grace Ngwetjane, Mantjie Mamabolo, Godfrey Munyai and Aka Kolobe.
Operation Dudula formally launched in Durban over the weekend, and more provincial formations are expected in weeks to come.
