Leaders should choose words about foreigners carefully - Gigaba
17 February 2017
Pretoria – Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba has issued a stern warning to leaders in South Africa to choose their words carefully when talking about foreigners in the country.
Gigaba was speaking at the Tshwane Events Centre following the launch of the Desmond Tutu Refugee Reception Centre in Pretoria on Friday.
The centre was formerly known as the Marabastad Refugee Reception Centre. President Jacob Zuma unveiled the revamped centre on Friday morning.
"The people you are talking about are human beings, whether they are in the country with or without papers. No leader in this country should incite vigilantism," Gigaba said.
