Speaker,The African Christian Democratic Party welcomes the Portfolio Committee’s Report on the Immigration Amendment Bill tabled on the 22nd of July, 2025. This bill seeks to rectify long-standing constitutional defects in section 34 of the Immigration Act of 2002 as declared by the Constitutional Court in Lawyers for Human Rights vs the Minister of Home Affairs and others. The South African Human Rights Commission warned that the justice system may lack the infrastructure to uphold these timelines, risking further rights violations. We affirm the need for humane, constitutionally-sound immigration policy — one that balances national security with the dignity of every person in the country. Let this bill not be a procedural fix alone, but a moral recalibration of our immigration ethos.
