Bongani Bingwa speaks to Duma Gqubule,  economist and research associate at the Social Policy Initiative, to discuss growing calls for mass deportations following the “March and March” protests.

He explains that while governments have the legal right to enforce immigration laws, large-scale deportations could raise serious constitutional and international law concerns.

The conversation focuses on whether South Africa can realistically implement mass removals of undocumented migrants without violating due process, refugee protections, and broader human rights obligations.
