We must stop confusing economic migrants with asylum seekers. Seeking better economic opportunities does not automatically make one a refugee.
South Africa cannot be expected to accommodate every economic migrant while millions of its own citizens remain unemployed.
The ATM met with the Independent Liberation and Allied Workers Union (ILAWU) to explore ways of working together to advance the interests of workers, including cashiers, lifeguards, pointsmen and other vulnerable workers.
Our shared priority is clear: decent working conditions, fair wages, job security and the protection of workers’ rights.
The dignity of workers must never be compromised.
There were 101 candidates that are naturalised citizens that contested the 2026 LGEs.
How many of these 101 candidates are now occupying positions of political power, making decisions that directly affect the lives and livelihoods of South Africans? Will these elected representatives put South Africans first or serve competing interests.
The Employment Services Bill must reflect the aspirations of South Africans, not the interests of foreign-funded NGOs and big business.
In Parliament, I emphasised the need to broaden public participation beyond traditional platforms by using social media and influencers to reach ordinary South Africans.
We cannot allow well-resourced organisations to dominate the legislative process while the voices of unemployed South Africans go unheard! This Bill must serve the people whose livelihoods are at stake.
The Minister of @HomeAffairsSA , @Leon_Schreib confirms that the BMA has only 2,146 officers and a shocking 75% vacancy rate!
How can we seriously fight illegal immigration & secure our borders when the very institution responsible is severely understaffed and under-resourced?
@011Shiesty@ZungulaVuyo so we just going to ignore the fact that ATM is in the Top 10 of the best performing political parties during the 2026 Local Government Elections increasing their seats in council from 54 to 105?🤔
[MUST READ]
Minister @RonaldLamola is quick to honor the GNU's UNHCR obligations, but securing our borders and putting South Africans first? Suddenly, the urgency disappears.
Whose country are they governing, exactly?
The gains we are seeing are encouraging and speak to the growing confidence South Africans have in the ATM. We are grateful to every voter who has placed their trust in us.
We are making progress, and the journey to transform South Africa continues!

The ATM leadership is on the ground at the National Results Operations Centre, closely monitoring the 2026 Local Government Election results.
The results coming in are encouraging, and we celebrate the progress being made as more communities place their confidence in the ATM.
@penuelist_@MveloZulu88 Have no fear Mr Black Pen…. South African’s interest will be our priority aslong as we are in decision making spaces like Parliament and Municipalities. Numbers are important yes but our duty is serving SA’ns
[ALERT]
The African Transformation Movement (ATM) wishes to inform members of the media that our Mayoral Candidate for the City of Johannesburg, Hon. @ZungulaVuyo , will cast his vote in the 2026 Local Government Elections on Wednesday, 04 November 2026.

Joburg's problems won't be solved by selling off municipal services to private companies. Residents need a City that works for them, not one that puts profits before people.
We must fix what is broken, not sell it off!
