Cabinet has approved the White Paper on National Labour Migration Policy, May 2025, for implementation. "The policy seeks to provide a framework to enforce proper and orderly movement and employment of foreign nationals in the country. It aims to achieve a balance across several areas, including addressing South Africans’ expectations for job prospects, in light of rising unemployment and the perception that foreign nationals restrict labour market access."
