President Cyril Ramaphosa urges South Africans to avoid blaming migrants for the country’s problems and instead focus on shared responsibility for addressing local challenges. Speaking around Youth Day, he calls for unity and for the public to work toward practical solutions to issues facing the nation. The remarks emphasize that difficulties affecting communities should not be attributed to migrants, with Ramaphosa framing the response to these challenges as a collective task. The president’s message also highlights the need for social cohesion and constructive engagement, particularly at a time when young people are expected to play an active role in shaping the future. While he does not outline specific policy measures in the available account, his central call is for citizens to confront underlying problems through cooperation and accountability rather than scapegoating. Overall, the statement presents migrants as outside the blame for South Africa’s difficulties and redirects attention toward internal factors and unified action.
