KwaZulu-Natal premier Thami Ntuli has defended his administration against criticism over the provinces illegal migration challenges, arguing that the provincial government cannot be held solely responsible for a national immigration problem.
Addressing the media on Sunday before the June 30 anti-undocumented migrants marches, Ntuli said the government had been working on the issue long before it became the focus of public protests and social media campaigns.
He rejected suggestions that his administration had only begun responding after public pressure mounted.
