Xenophobic attacks: The South African High Commissioner must be answering to us why South Africans must continue to stay in this country - Solomon Owusu, Director of Communications, United Party youtube.com/live/sbeeCcFJI… #AMShow | #JoyNews



My brother, migration is a story as old as civilisation itself. Today, there are nearly 150,000 South Africans living in the United States. Does that warrant questioning the dignity or pride of South Africans? Of course not. Human beings have always moved toward opportunity. Even within South Africa, internal migration from Limpopo to the Western Cape in pursuit of better prospects is entirely normal. There are also roughly 10,000 South Africans living in Malawi, drawn by the same economic impulses. My own lineage reflects this reality. My great-great-grandparents migrated from KwaZulu-Natal and settled in Malawi, which means I carry South African roots. There is neither shame nor superiority in movement. It is simply the human condition. The only distinction is that, at times, movement requires crossing borders. Moreover, migrant labour from Malawi and other neighbouring countries has been instrumental in building South Africa’s economy and continues to sustain key sectors. That historical and ongoing contribution establishes a legitimate stake. Our economies are intertwined and mutually dependent. With approximately 500 million dollars in trade exchange annually, one cannot deny that we need each other. I hope this is something that your xenophobic mindset can comprehend. Thank you for your attention to this matter!








Young Professionals, Teachers, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants etc. have to pay membership fees to professional bodies like SACE, HPCSA, LPC, ECSA and SAICA, even when they are UNEMPLOYED. The EFF is demanding parliamentary intervention to STOP this unjust practice!
