Mashatile advierte contra la violencia en las protestas sobre inmigración

El vicepresidente Paul Mashatile declaró ante el Parlamento que el gobierno no permitirá la violencia colectiva en las protestas contra los ciudadanos extranjeros indocumentados. Instó a las fuerzas de seguridad a actuar de manera decisiva contra los actos delictivos, manteniendo al mismo tiempo la prioridad de atender a los sudafricanos.

Mashatile hizo estas declaraciones durante una sesión de preguntas orales en la Asamblea Nacional el 21 de mayo de 2026. Condenó cualquier forma de acción colectiva y subrayó que Sudáfrica es un país ordenado que se rige por las leyes. El vicepresidente también abordó cuestiones de rendición de cuentas que involucran a la exministra de Desarrollo Social, Sisisi Tolashe. Señaló que ella ha comparecido ante los órganos de ética pertinentes y ante el presidente tras las acusaciones de no haber declarado vehículos de lujo donados a la Liga de Mujeres del Congreso Nacional Africano. Mashatile rechazó las afirmaciones de que hubiera influido en una licitación de la lotería multimillonaria. Afirmó que el asunto ya había sido revisado por el ministro de Comercio, Industria y Competencia, Parks Tau, y que no requería ninguna investigación adicional.
