TWO MIGRATION CONCEPTS

1. MIGRATION GOVERNANCE: Policies, laws, coordination mechanisms, partnerships

2. MIGRATION MANAGEMENT: The day to day operations- systems, tools, protocols, staff, funds etc.

Weaknesses in GOVERNANCE often lead to gaps in MANAGEMENT.

[Dr Mutie Rogers, PhD. @MutieRogers]

@newswireZW Migrants(anywhere) fill critical labour gaps. In a destinations where demand for certain jobs is high, the best is to create legal pathways for such categories or expand critical skills lists to include them...domestic workers, farm workers, mechanics etc.

Good progress in 2026 alone with more countries easing intra-africa travel - a key prerequisite to our shared prosperity - intra-african trade and cohesion. Strengthen border management & migration governance and open up. We have a better future together, not when in small enclaves.

@stats_wire Thing is migrant remittances have far outpaced FDI. What we need to do is to structure it. No conditionalities, just wealth being redistributed from locations of plenty. ENGAGE, ENABLE, EMPOWER diaspora communities.

UPDATE | A clarification to our earlier report on the Department of International Relations and Cooperation’s (DIRCO) remarks regarding the deportation of foreign nationals who violate South Africa’s immigration laws. https://t.co/EBePiV5k2O

Language matters: It is "irregular migration" not "Illegal Migration". "Irregular or undocumented" migrants not illegal migrants. People cant be illegal, their actions can be. There is even a UN guidance on the use of humanizing language (UNGA Resolution 3449)

[Dr Mutie Rogers, PhD. @MutieRogers]

Two types of migration (thread)
1. Voluntary Migration: It's migration as a choice. For work, family (re) unification, study etc. Social economic development (not always poverty) can drive it. Economic development can be a driver.

[Dr Mutie Rogers, PhD. @MutieRogers]

People opt for irregular channels when there are barriers to regularity in origin, transit & destination e.g inhibitive policies, difficulty getting passports, frequent unjustified/discriminatory visa refusals, lack of info or misinformation etc.

[Dr Mutie Rogers, PhD. @MutieRogers]

@eNCA This movement (with its genuine concern) can be more effective by pushing for suchstructural/systemic issues as this one, rather than vigilante type street operations. Reformed policies & laws, resources, enforcement & wealth creation for citizens.

[Chrispin Phiri 🇿🇦 @Chrispin_JPhiri]

No amount of cyberbullying will change the facts:

1. Irregular migration cannot be addressed by vigilantism. Law enforcement must address all matters of criminality, including the abuse of immigration laws.

2. Migration will happen, but it must happen within the confines of the rule of law.

3. Dehumanising people does not address any problem, let alone immigration challenges.

4. Structural economic issues will not be addressed by targeting foreign nationals.

5. The history of South Africa cannot be told without understanding migration, from the Mfecane / Difaqane up to the dictates of colonial settlers.

[eNCA @eNCA]

There is no evidence that South African hospitals are overcrowded due to foreign nationals. This is according to the South African Human Rights Commission during a virtual imbizo held on Monday.

@Newzroom405 This dispels a popular narrative that "most foreigners" living and working in communities are "illegal". It is important to allow (or force) competent authorities to do their job. Refugee & asylum status (if already granted) bears significant protections and rights.
