@ansynwokafor @NewsCentralTV Much better this time. Now, was that information about residency in your response I wad responding to?

@Basophani @NewsCentralTV The unintelligent one here is you b/c you raised a pointless issue. Any foreigner in any country that has a valid resident permit in that country DOES NOT NEED a visa to start up a business in that coujtey,big or small. It is very difficult to educate one who don't want to learn

“We really do not have problems with Nigerians... It's the people who are doing criminal activities that we have a problem with.” King Jonguxolo Sandile says the focus should be on criminal activity, not nationality, and calls for government action and fairness in response.

@Johnlaban256 I just want money. Im over cars

I swear a man’s happiness is his car 😂👍🏽

@ansynwokafor @NewsCentralTV You are unintelligent. You are gonna swear instead of responding a simple question directed at your statement which doesn’t say anything of the information you just brought up. Keep swearing, that’s how you and your people address/engage each other I guess.

@Basophani @NewsCentralTV You are a dumb ass. You are asking what visa did someone living in South Africa for the past 15 yrs have? Even when he clearly told you he was Married to a South African and his kids are South Africans? I didn't know you people could be this dumb and still portraying it out here?

@NoSpinZA @markessien I lost my bearings there, there must be another comment I was responding to

Bro! I am talking about immigration in its entirety. There are asylum seekers, there are illegal immigrants and there expatriates here. All of these are here, some legally and mostly not so legal because borders are porous and our immigration system is a marketplace. Which part of what I wrote triggered you?

For South Africa to become a first world country, they actually need to stop migration from other African countries. Sad as it is, this is true. Because Africa is huge and has a massive poor population. If they try to cater for everyone, they will just get poorer.

@Abramjee So they wasted state resources with this exercise. They don’t know immigration laws and didn’t invite immigration officials

In Brakpan, the Ekurhuleni Metro Police (EMPD), together with environmental health inspectors, conducted a compliance operation targeting delivery motorcycles and minibuses. Over 65 vehicles were inspected, after authorities found that most motorcycles initially lacked the required Certificates of Acceptability. Operators were brought in for checks, and compliance with licensing, vehicle fitness, and legal documentation was verified. All inspected drivers ultimately complied with the National Road Traffic Act, while officers also warned riders about reckless and unsafe driving.

@Dakbluv @PulseNigeria247 Chase all illegal SAns please. We support you

@PulseNigeria247 This people are crazy o, they can’t work, they are too lazy; if everyone leaves the country for them to what benefit will they pin it on? If the whole world decides to chase every southy back home will that make them feel better

Nigerian: I sell clothes for a living. I married here. My first son is 18. South Africa: From now on you’re illegally a foreigner. We don’t want foreigners. We’re fixing our South Africa. We want you out now. South Africans confront Nigerian in anti-immigrant protests. 🇳🇬🇿🇦

@tierra58147 @PulseNigeria247 Depot them please. It’s a criminal offense to be in a country illegally

@PulseNigeria247 Come to the USA you will see South Africans in every corner, most of them without papers. They are hated here also but no one harrasses them. Do you not see how even Trump despises the black pig food called black South Africans.

@kachieze @ThembisileQ21 I thought as much. Nothing

@Basophani @ThembisileQ21 One thing I don’t do, is try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Most African countries gained their independence way before us. Why aren't they thriving?

@MrLanreGafar @Mayo6Tee @NewsCentralTV You know the meaning of attack?

@Mayo6Tee @NewsCentralTV Those that attacked him are immigration officers?

@ansynwokafor @NewsCentralTV Yes it’s illegal for a foreigner to come sell in SA. There’s a visa for investing and it is not for small businesses. So what Visa did he use?

@NewsCentralTV Thats a fat lie! Why then are attacking people in their shops? The guy selling second handed clothes on the streets that we all saw ,they told him to close shop and leave that they do not want him there,Is that also an illegal activity? Come on,they should just accept being st**p

@AfricaisBlack What’s your suggestion for those people?

Your monthly survival hinges on a government R350 grant. No Land. No title deed. No assets. No means of production. Just an ID and a SASSA card. That's not citizenship, that's managed poverty. And you're comfortable with that?

@NoSpinZA @markessien You don’t get that SA has a problem with ILLEGAL immigration? You only talk about people who are accounted for and won’t address the millions here illegally

@markessien The problem is bigger than just African immigration…we have Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, India, Israel etc…the pressure on our economy is real!

@theunwanaumana @markessien Illegal immigrants don’t pay tax. There’s a treshold amount to get a visa to invest in SA just like any other country. Opening a Small shop as a foreigner is not authorized.

Baba, I've lived in SA. And this is what I will say. Building a first world economy isn't about closing borders; it’s about fixing the foundation of the house. If South Africa stopped all migration tomorrow, the big problems like the electricity crisis, broken railways, and poor schooling would still be there, and those are the real things keeping the country from growing. In fact, many people coming from other African countries start small businesses, pay taxes on everything they buy, and bring skills that the country actually needs. Asin, it is hard to see a migrant in SA that is jobless. When you blame migrants for poverty, you're looking at the wrong target. It's like a shopkeeper blaming the neighbours for his empty shelves instead of fixing the hole in his own roof. ​History shows that countries get wealthy by becoming hubs for trade and talent, not by trying to turn themselves into an island. Since South Africa sells billions of dollars worth of goods to the rest of the continent, acting hostile toward its neighbours is bad for business. If South Africa wants to be a global leader, it needs to lead the African market, not hide from it. Right now, the whole of southern Africa uses their products. So using migration as an excuse for why the economy is struggling is a shortcut argument that doesn't actually lead to wealth, it just creates more division while the real economic issues continue to get worse.

@Navz0017 @Ntorealthabizo1 @jimNjue_ Good. Now are they illegal?

@Ntorealthabizo1 @jimNjue_ You must also know that we have very many south Africans who worked in Kenya and have refused to go back because they love it here . Sharp minds ,affordability and convinience . They still shop in SA and get their things brought here . Kenya is good despite our issues

99% of land in Kenya is owned by Africans. 96% of land in South Africa is owned by Whites & Indians. All these fat Zulus running around beating foreigners calling them kwerekweres, They own nothing A small boy in Kenya is richer than a 40 yr old black man in South Africa

@kachieze @ThembisileQ21 You talk about attacking people but there’s no proof of that. You just take any news online and just run with it. Show reliable sources of videos/evidence of atttacks

The illegal immigration problem is real and nobody is contending it. The contention is how to fix it. You focus energy where the problem is and not by breaking the law and attacking people. Broken window effect - You open the door for all manner of human rights and criminal acts as you have seen happening. This will degrade your society over time and spread into all other forms of public affray. Right problem + wrong solution = terrible outcome and de@th of your society.

@AfricaisBlack Attacked?

Vuyo, you’re wrong! There's a massive difference between enforcing immigration laws and telling a legal resident to fix your country. The Ghanaian national attacked in KwaZulu-Natal had proof of legal status. This wasn't immigration enforcement, it was harassment, pure and simple. You're conflating lawful policy with mob justice. Governments across Africa do enforce immigration laws through due process, not street intimidation. Don't cloak xenophobia in the language of policy failure.

@kachieze @kwasi_championn Fair? How is it fair if they are doing it illegally.

This is actually nonsense. “Taking their jobs” is an argument that has never held water anywhere. How many Togolese, Cameroonians, Ghanaians and Beninois living in Nigeria are taking your job? The only people who hold these archaic opinions are lazy and unproductive people who are unable to compete in a fair and open jobs market.

Not supporting South Africans in any way, but if you go to any country under the pretense of a visit and you take indigenous jobs, the locals will be pissed, obviously. Same way some Ghanaians have protested against Nigerian retailers in the past.

@Montyilr @kwasi_championn Theres no violence, stop believing unverified news

@kwasi_championn No one is against them fighting for their country but you don't attack random people! You don't use violence that's the whole point! Foreigners are taking over because their extremely lazy! Visit there and you will see how lazy they are

@kwasi_championn @quojo_yirenkyi There’s no violence. They just believe every unverified video they see.

@quojo_yirenkyi You’re right, that’s unfortunate, violence is not the answer but it is a symptom of people that are just lashing out cos of frustration

@kachieze @ThembisileQ21 SA has illegal immigration problem. Im not sure if you know and choose to ignore that fact as you liken it to the rest. I know about global immigration and have lived in a different country before, legally.

Every African country has other Africans living there, a lot of other Africans. In fact, every country in the world has immigrants. Humans have always moved around, inter-married. Invited other friends and family to the country they have moved to. Immigrants in SA is no different. You just need to step outside your echo chamber to see beyond your nose.
