What is the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration & Refugee Protection and why does it matter?

This draft White Paper sets out how government proposes to fundamentally reshape how citizenship, immigration, and refugee protection are governed in South Africa. While it is not yet law, it will shape future legislation, policy, and systems that directly affect migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and South African communities.

The public has been invited to comment and this is a critical moment to make voices heard, especially those most impacted by migration policy.

Read, reflect, and submit your comments to [email protected] before the White Paper is finalised.

As migration policy must be rights-based, people-centred, and grounded in lived realities.

Spurgeon’s College, a historic London-based Baptist institution founded by Charles Spurgeon in 1856, has closed immediately after 169 years of influential theological training. The decision follows years of financial struggles, declining student numbers, and a challenging funding environment for theological education. A critical charitable partnership unexpectedly ended on July 21, 2025, leaving the college unable to continue operations and prompting insolvency. The closure affects hundreds of current students and marks the end of a renowned center for ministry and pastoral leadership in the UK.

Blaming migrants for South Africa’s ailing healthcare system is a dangerous and politically convenient fiction. Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, this narrative persists, deflecting attention from the real source of collapse: State failure.

South Africa is facing a deepening water crisis. Corruption, maladministration and neglect have stripped billions from public funds that should have delivered safe, clean water to people who need it most.

The result is that millions still do not have reliable access to piped water, threatening their health, dignity and development. Broken infrastructure, failing municipalities and poor oversight continue to leave communities without this fundamental human right.

Our new Water Justice report examines how entrenched corruption and weak governance have worsened this crisis. It shares the lived realities of people forced to queue at unsafe water sources, pay exploitative prices for private delivery, or simply go without.

At the Legal Resources Centre, we believe the right of access to water, protected by our Constitution, must be realised for all. We invite you to read the full report to understand these challenges and see how we can work together to demand accountability and real solutions.
