The area gained prominence after six community patrollers were killed in a brutal attack.

He was speaking on the first day of the two-day African National Congress (ANC) Gauteng Provincial Task Team (PTT) Lekgotla at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways.

He was sharing his experience at an informal settlement in Pretoria, where Lesufi says situations like these should not be allowed to prevail in the country.

“I went to an area called Marry Me, and I can tell you, it’s not Marry Me alone. There are many other similar places like Marry Me. We can’t have an informal settlement where over 65% of its residents are undocumented foreign nationals in our own country. It must come to an end, we must be very firm. There is no country that can agree to have people that you don’t know who they are, where they come from, where they sleep, what they do, and they are in our country doing as they wish. We must be very firm; you document yourself or you leave us in peace,” says Lesufi.
