South Africa is planning to withdraw from UN conventions so the government can restrict immigration and send refugees back to countries that are not deemed dangerous.

Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has announced plans to toughen the nation's asylum and immigration laws as part of his bid to 'overhaul' the migration system in South Africa.

One of the chief proposals, featured in the government's 'White Paper', is that the South African government temporarily withdraws from the 1951 United Nations Refugees Convention and the 1967 Protocol to the Status of Refugees.

All the international treaties regarding refugees need to be renegotiated. They aren't fit for modern day mass migrations, let alone what is probably coming in the future. Unless they renegotiate you're going to start seeing more and more countries just leaving them entirely.

SA has immigration/asylum laws that are very generous compared to the UK.

SImple reform of those rather than leaving UN conventions would be easier.

Also SA has a big land border with other countries in Southern Africa so unless they are willing to police those properly then they are always going to have to deal with people coming across.

Yeh, but how do you police a border of that size? Pretty near impossible.

PS You can get much of SA on Google Street View. Dry and deserty mostly but looks nice. Urban areas look quite affluent, not surprising people want to go there.
