She said the organisation is saddened by his death and said his death was the result of the fight against hijacked buildings.
She said the government must take responsibility for his death. Ngobese-Zuma said that if there were no hijacked buildings, Warras would still be alive.
"If there were no fertile environment for illegal immigrants to come and stay in this country, we wouldn't be here today."
Ngobese-Zuma also said that an investigation into his death because Warras had enemies. Warras had filed five protection orders against people who threatened his life because of his work with hijacked buildings.
"He made a lot of people angry and uncomfortable about the truth. He exposed a lot of corruption and crime. If no 50,000 people was living in one building, we wouldn't be here today," she said.
Ngobese-Zuma said the government must call a state of emergency on illegal immigration. She also said the government made the ground fertile for criminals to thrive. She called on the government to deploy the South African National Defense Force to clean hijacked buildings. She said the government does not have the will to make changes.
