It says it will stage more peaceful demonstrations, pickets and blitzes in key economic centres over the next three months, working with police and civic organisations.

The group has also revealed it plans to host a national dialogue in Gauteng on irregular migration.

It says it will meet with political parties including the National Freedom Party, African Transformation Movement, and United Democratic Movement to build support for stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

Municipalities will be also asked to consider by-laws that reserve township economies for South African citizens.
