Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Deputy President, we have taken note of the actions that are being taken by SADC and many departments in respect of border control, but the facts are that millions of people are streaming into South Africa from the north. That makes a mockery of the words "border control", and it also brings into doubt the Department of Home Affairs, because people just come here without any authorisation to enter South Africa.
Why do people from elsewhere have to apply for visas and get permission to enter South Africa? My question is: Has border control not become obsolete, and the Department of Home Affairs impotent to attend to this question, because millions are just streaming into our country?
