Resolved Mis- or disinformation
Outcome
Not upheldOverview
The complaint is about a tweet from ActionSA asserting their stance on border control, claiming that an open border policy compromises the country's sovereignty and insisting that immigrants should enter legally and respect local laws.
Background & Outcome
This is a campaign statement reflecting the party's position on immigration. While it can be interpreted as pandering to xenophobic sentiments, it does not spread false information about immigration laws and doesn't satisfy the legal criteria for hate speech.
