DURBAN — The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in KwaZulu-Natal has declared its full support for the measured, lawful, and leadership-driven approach taken by KZN Premier, Honourable Thamsanqa Ntuli, to address the province's illegal immigration challenges.
Issuing a firm statement on the eve of Africa Day, the party emphasized that responsible governance requires balancing humanitarian compassion with decisive operations to protect local economic opportunities and uphold the rule of law.

Results of the "Engangeni Ngesango Iyafohla" Campaign
Since its initial rollout in 2024, the Engangeni Ngesango Iyafohla campaign has driven a coordinated provincial response against undocumented migration and connected underground crime networks. Under Premier Ntuli’s strict directives, joint law enforcement task teams have ramped up physical compliance sweeps.
These integrated efforts have produced clear, tangible outcomes across the province:
Targeted Arrests: Interventions have led to the direct arrest and processing of undocumented foreign nationals working or residing in the province illegally.
Business Accountability: Enforcers have cracked down heavily on retail outlets and factories found to be violating core immigration, consumer safety, and basic labour laws.
Border Controls: Stronger operational coordination has been established between state agencies regulating border management, economic zones, and everyday community safety.
The IFP praised Premier Ntuli’s hands-on leadership style, citing his unannounced oversight visits to business districts across Durban and critical border checkpoints connecting South Africa, Eswatini, and Mozambique as proof of action-oriented governance.
Evolving Beyond Policing: Building Institutions
The IFP noted that the provincial strategy has maturely shifted from pure street-level enforcement to institution-building and broad public mobilization. A premier example includes the recently convened Provincial Round Table on Undocumented Foreign Nationals, which gathered the Border Management Authority, traditional leaders, civic groups, and faith-based organisations to hammer out sustainable policy alignments.
Concurrently, municipalities throughout KwaZulu-Natal are systematically adjusting to the campaign. Local councils have tightened the enforcement of municipal by-laws, increased regular business floor inspections, and broadened oversight of formal trading compliance.
Furthermore, Premier Ntuli has launched diplomatic dialogues with representatives from nations such as Ethiopia and Mozambique, acknowledging that effective migration management requires open interstate communication. Parallel community initiatives, including the Sport Against Crime and social cohesion events, keep the strategy anchored in community development rather than hostility.
Rejecting Xenophobia, Embracing Order.
The IFP remains absolute in its stance that while undocumented migration impacts national security, public resources, and local job markets, the issue must never degenerate into xenophobia or unlawful violence.
As a political party built on the foundations of human dignity, social order, and pan-African solidarity, the IFP explicitly condemned all forms of discrimination, lawlessness, and vigilantism. The party endorsed the Engangeni Ngesango Iyafohla campaign as a humane, constitutional intervention meant to fix governance structures and protect communities.
