Mashaba said the DA's proposal to offer amnesty to millions of undocumented migrants in the country does not consider millions of unemployed South Africans.

According to TimesLIVE, The DA's proposal suggests giving a grace period to the foreign nationals. The publication further states that the grace period will allow undocumented foreign nationals to return to their home countries and re-enter South Africa legally or sort out their papers while in SA.

"In fact, I think their proposal is not a slap in the face, but pointing a middle finger to the 13-million unemployed South Africans."
