rule tactics.

This is a Campaign of resistance and solidarity and we want to hear your

suggestions for how to step up our campaign

18   May 2010 – Patrick   Maphoso  and other migrant led organisations  met the Minister of Integration   Mrs Mary White to discuss issues affecting immigrants such as:

1. Race Crimes / Legislation covering this.

- There is a lack of decisive action regarding race crimes

- No specific means of documenting crimes

- Need to highlight issues regarding incitement to hatred

2. Unequal Representation of immigrants

This is evident in different sectors like

- State Boards

- The Senate

- Department of Integration, among many other areas

3. Need to speeden up the decision making process at the Dept of Justice in

relation to

- Asylum cases

- Naturalisation cases
