Africa Diaspora Forum (ADF) provincial chairperson in Mpumalanga, Mr Brian Kajengo has called on foreign nationals not to compete for state built houses (RDP’s) with local residents as this often creates tensions in communities.
Kajengo says the issue of RDP’s has always been a thorny issue in most service delivery protests that have taken place in the country so far. He said this during the public participation programme (Imbizo) in Thulamahashe on Saturday.
Kajengo, who is also a Zimbabwean journalist based in Bushbuckridge, explained that ADF organization represents foreign nationals from all parts of the continent in the country and it was formed in April last year.
He also pleaded with government to provide offices for asylum seekers in order to assist with the documentation of foreign nationals. He added that with the existence of such offices, it will no longer be necessary for foreign nationals to travel to main cities such as Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg to sort out their documentation matters.
