Patriotic Alliance (PA) deputy leader Kenny Kunene says his “strong interest”' in wanting to control the home affairs department pending talks about a government of national unity (GNU) is driven by passion to get rid of “corrupt officials”.
Several parties have announced their demands amid GNU talks and Gayton McKenzie's PA has aimed for control of home affairs.
“We want to get rid of corrupt home affairs officials who give illegal immigrants IDs [without following proper procedures]. We want to use the department to ensure our borders are secure,” Kunene said.
“Our young people don't have jobs because companies are employing illegal immigrants. We want to implement our turnaround strategy of the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Abahambe abahambe [let them go, let them go].”
The PA garnered 2.05% of votes in the May 29 election, giving it eight seats in parliament. Kunene said he could not trust any other party to facilitate mass deportation of illegal immigrants. He accused the ANC and other parties of “creating the problem”.
PA deputy president Kenny Kunene says their demand for joining the proposed Government of National Unity, to be given the Home Affairs Department, is to enable them to get rid of corruption and do mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Kunene says they cannot trust the ANC to do this. Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.
