What did Commissioner Mkhwanazi say?
At the end of his testimony, Advocate Mahlape Sello told the commissioners that Mkhwanazi had filed a statement regarding some of the issues that had arisen following his previous testimony about his mother.
Mkhwanazi explained that it was indeed the statement regarding his previous testimony and explained that he wanted to submit it before 30 June to prove that he was South African.
“On social media, people are saying you are going to be deported on the 30th. Then I wanted to submit it very fast to make sure I belong to South Africa, that I am a South African,” he said.
30 June is the unofficial deadline given to illegal immigrants to leave the country. March and March, the group leading anti-illegal immigration demonstrations, has also called for a national shutdown on the day.
