Mashatile alerta contra violência em protestos sobre imigração

O vice-presidente Paul Mashatile disse ao Parlamento que o governo não permitirá violência de multidões em protestos contra estrangeiros indocumentados. Ele pediu que as forças de segurança ajam de forma decisiva contra atos criminosos, mantendo a prioridade aos sul-africanos.

Mashatile fez as observações ao responder a perguntas orais na Assembleia Nacional em 21 de maio de 2026. Ele condenou qualquer forma de ação de multidões e enfatizou que a África do Sul é um país ordenado e governado por leis. O vice-presidente também abordou questões de responsabilidade envolvendo a ex-ministra do Desenvolvimento Social, Sisisi Tolashe. Ele observou que ela compareceu perante os órgãos de ética relevantes e ao presidente após acusações de não declarar veículos de luxo doados à Liga Feminina do Congresso Nacional Africano. Mashatile rejeitou as alegações de que teria influenciado uma licitação multibilionária da loteria. Ele disse que o assunto já havia sido revisado pelo ministro do Comércio, Indústria e Concorrência, Parks Tau, e não exigia investigação adicional.
