I don't care undocumented or documented... this is humanitarian ... everything else can be sorted out much , much later... for now leave politics alone and show compassion to the people and families affected

According to South African law of immigration, there's nothing called documented or undocumented, the correct terminology which is defined in the Act is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT OR LEGAL IMMIGRANT, this is not the time to rewrite the law on youtube.

It's so sad and bad. I was a victim of a builder. He got discount on building materials. Charged me retail price, plus 10% on top of that. Took my water and electricity connection fee to pay his municipal account and connected my water and electricity illegally. My house started falling apart within 3 months and he disappeared. My dream fell apart.😢

It IS important that we know about the undocumented workers. It could be a major part of the reason that this disaster happened. Using unskilled cheap labour who have no experience of construction work - negligence for the sake of making a quick buck. Meanwhile, thousands of local people from George are sitting without work.
@christiaancoetzee2964
@christiaancoetzee2964 Месяц назад
Human life is precious and should be treated as such regardless whether those involved are documented or not. It does however complicate the accuracy of the number of still missing workers as undocumented survivors could potentially vacate the area out of fear of legal consequences for working illegally. It is also possible that some missing were not at work at the time, but cannot come forward as they could ultimately face deportation. The actions of the owner/s are despicable. My heart goes out to families and loved ones affected and also to survivors and especially those possibly still trapped. Everyday I am hoping for a miracle.

The questions should be directed towards the municipality as well as the owners. If this project had any form of legality in the initial stages this could have been prevented. This has nothing to do with the form of labour. Has the municipality approved the project? Who are the appointed engineers?

6:23 No, my sister, being documented does not mean you’re legal in the country. Stop creating new terms because they confuse people. According to the law, we have ‘Legal Immigrants’ and ‘Illegal Immigrants.’ For example, if you overstay your visa, you are documented, but that does not mean you are legally in the country.”
@KKOPPONG
@KKOPPONG Месяц назад
CAN! CAN! CAN! My guy you’re the one who’s confused here. She said someone “CAN” be in the country legally but not have a work permit. The word “can” means you have a variety of reasons under the law that could give you the right to be here…she didn’t say ALL documented people are legal. She simply differentiated between people who can be in South Africa legally and people who can be in South Africa and be allowed to work in South Africa. You’re confusing yourself over a very simple statement. You said “being documented does not mean you’re legally in the country”…where in this video did you hear her say that because I didn’t hear that. You’re right about overstaying your Visa makes you illegal but no one called that into question. You’re just creating stories now because at no point did this lady say anything that you’re complaining about. Stop being emotional & open your ears! If English is a problem turn on your tv/radio to whatever commentary language you can hear.
@mariahkamogelomoloisane6276
@mariahkamogelomoloisane6276 Месяц назад
​@@KKOPPONG After listening to the video again, I agree with you. The main issue I was addressing is the use of the terms ‘DOCUMENTED’ or ‘UNDOCUMENTED.’ These two words can lead to confusion. For instance, if a person remains in the country on an expired visa, we label them as an ‘ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT' and that's the law and whether they are documented is irrelevant. We should use the precise terminology from our Immigration Act, which is ‘LEGAL’ or ‘ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.’ The moment you violate the conditions of your visa, you become an ‘ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT,’ and being documented does not equate to legality. For example, if you enter South Africa on a tourist visa and begin employment, you immediately become an ‘ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT’ and will be subject to deportation.
