A civil society coalition challenges President Cyril Ramaphosa’s public claims about illegal immigration, saying he has not provided evidence to substantiate them. The dispute follows Ramaphosa’s recent address in which he referred to immigration levels and alleged illegal entry, prompting criticism from groups involved in the coalition. The coalition argues that claims about illegal immigration should be supported with clear, verifiable information, rather than presented without supporting data. In response to the criticism, the coalition calls for greater transparency on immigration figures and enforcement actions, and for the government to clarify what sources are being used to support such assertions. The reporting frames the controversy as a demand for accountability around public statements that can shape public perception and policy. No additional details about specific documents, numbers, or investigations are provided in the available source text, nor is there confirmation of how the government or Ramaphosa responds. The matter remains focused on whether the president’s claims are backed by evidence.
