The Illegal Immigration Tipping Point with Rebone Tau

What sparked the illegal immigration protests? Recent

protests across the country have exposed growing frustrations around

illegal immigration, service delivery, unemployment, crime, and the

perceived failure of the state to respond effectively. Yet beneath the

headlines lies a far more complex conversation about policy,

accountability, human rights, and national identity. Phumi Mashigo

speaks with political commentator and author Rebone Tau about what is

fuelling public anger, whether the concerns being raised are justified,

and how South Africa can navigate one of the most difficult policy

challenges facing the country today.
