Abstract
The concern over the issue of illegal immigration into South Africa has resulted in
widespread incidents of violent confrontation between the noted illegal immigrants and
especially the impoverished South Africans. The need to manage illegal immigration
effectively and efficiently is one of the primary issues around preserving the security of
all South Africans and the state. There are good policies to address illegal immigration
into the country but implementation is the major challenge confronting authorities. The
study employed document analysis to provide answers to the research question. The
researcher complemented the approach with interviews. One of the major findings was
the need to close gaps in managing illegal immigration into South Africa and to ensure
that all the state institutions work cooperatively in stamping out illicit activities
accompanying illegal immigration into the country. Illegal immigration is manageable.
