EPISODE · Jul 3, 2026 · 38 MIN
Immigration
from Radio Pulpit · host Sibongile Mofokeng & Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi
Sibongile Mofokeng and Advocate Rufus Malatji unpack immigration, especially what it means to be an emigrant, migrant, asylum seeker, or refugee. A migrant is someone who moves from one place to another, either within a country or across borders. Emigration is when a person leaves their country to live elsewhere, while immigration is when a person enters a new country to live there. An asylum seeker is someone requesting protection because they fear harm in their home country, and a refugee is a person officially recognized as needing that protection because of persecution, war, or similar dangers. The discussion also looks at what is happening in South Africa lately, where immigration has become a tense issue tied to public concern, social pressure, and questions about law, safety, and human dignity. The key message is that the country needs both lawful border management and a humane response that respects the rights and realities of people seeking safety. #SibongileMofokeng #AdvocateRufusMalatji #Immigration #Migration #AsylumSeeker #Refugee #Emigration #SouthAfrica #LegalDiscussion #RadioPulpit Heart to Heart
