Malema Proposes Billing Foreign Governments for Services Used by Undocumented Migrants

1 / 3

EFF leader Julius Malema says South Africa should bill foreign governments when their citizens without valid documents receive state-funded services such as healthcare and education. Speaking during an election-focused podcast interview, Malema argued that frustration over immigration should not be directed only at African migrants. He said undocumented people from other regions should also be held to the same standard. Malema proposed an international mechanism that would allow South Africa to recover the cost of public services from countries whose citizens receive them. He said governments that refuse to pay should face action under international law.
