He says South Africans must not be misled by the 30 June deadline.

A 30 June deadline set by some groups for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
"No South African must take any action against any person from any of our African sister countries. That is the responsibility of government and government officials," Ramaphosa said.
"So the so-called 30th of June, in my view, it's not an event that is even necessary because we are addressing the challenges that our people are facing and we must not allow South Africans to be duped and to be misled by those who want to foster instability in our country and we will not allow that."
