Igbo man Joseph Chukwuka, a career preacher who came to South Africa a decade ago,says he leaves the country reluctantly out of fear and denies being an economic refugee insisting he was an enterprising member of society running a church while working as an ehailing driver.

Joseph Chukwuka, a Johannesburg-based preacher originally from Nigeria, has rejected claims that he is an economic refugee, saying his move to South Africa was driven by a spirit of adventure rather than financial necessity. Chukwuka said exploration and migration have long been part of Igbo culture, arguing that many Igbo people travel the world in search of opportunities, experiences and personal growth. He maintains that his decision to settle in South Africa and establish a church was motivated by his desire to explore new horizons and serve communities through his ministry. @ThisKg

South Africa’s Defence Minister Angie Motshekga has raised concern over what she describes as insufficient action by Zimbabwean authorities to curb the illegal crossing of citizens into South Africa.

Motshekga stated that the government believes Zimbabwe is not doing enough to prevent irregular migration across the border. She added that South Africa is currently engaging in diplomatic discussions with neighbouring countries to ensure greater cooperation in addressing illegal immigration.

[WATCH] DISGRUNTLED MEMBERS CROSSING THE FLOOR.

This happens to all parties during an election year where people who were given a responsibility and have failed leave when the writing was on the wall with regards to not being re-elected they jump to other parties. Those are just individuals who are chasing the pay check and not about serving the people.

We are getting good candidates looking at how things are unfolding and communities are giving us good candidates. Those who are jumping the ship know they didn’t do well during their tenures. Our focus is whether we getting the right people to be candidates and that they will execute the work of the ANC.

ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has described individuals recently unveiled by ActionSA as former ANC members as incompetent opportunists who are only seeking personal gain.

Mbalula was speaking to the media on the sidelines of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Boksburg, where he responded to recent political defections ahead of the local government elections.

ActionSA this week announced that it had recruited several former ANC members, including a mayor from Limpopo, as part of its growing political presence in the province. However, Mbalula dismissed the defectors, saying they failed to deliver while serving in the ANC and were now “trying to secure the bag” by switching parties. @ThisKg @YOUFM898 #FikileMbalula #ANC #ActionSA #ANCDefectors #LimpopoPolitics #LocalGovernmentElections #ANCNEC #Boksburg #SouthAfricaPolitics #PoliticalDefections #ServiceDelivery #MayorCandidates #PartyPolitics #SouthAfricanNews #PoliticalNews

Your use of the word evacuation is at best alarmist
