ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has joined the chorus of reactions to the US government's claim that a Russian cargo ship which docked at Simon's Town left South Africa loaded with weapons.
"Our country, South Africa, has certainly been turned into a banana republic. Total disdain and disrespect for the foundation of the application of the rule of law. Where is the minister of police when this happens?" asked Mashaba.
"I think we need to hold you accountable to give us monthly deportation statistics, otherwise you will play ANC politics with South Africans, giving an impression you are serious about treating illegal immigration when you know you practise the opposite," Mashaba told home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi.
