Fight between Operation Dudula and human rights organisations over undocumented foreign nationals intensifies

The Weekend View

Operation Dudula has vowed continue to fight for the rights of South Africans until the government intervenes. In recent weeks, clinics in Johannesburg and parts of Durban have been targeted, with the group denying access to undocumented foreign nationals.Their members claim their campaign also helps to ease the workload on nurses, and is welcomed by most South Africans.
On THURSDAY Operation Dudula supporters marched to the Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa offices in Braamfontein and to the South African Human Rights Commission offices to hand over a memorandum of demands. The organisation accused the SAHRC and SERI of supporting and protecting illegal immigrants.

In our Sunday Morning Discussion Bongiwe Zwane hosted Operation Dudula president, Zandile Dabula. Thato Masiangoako, a researcher from SERI was invited to the discussion but was unreachable.
