@S_OkudzetoAblak @weloveghana042 Why do you look for a speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Xenophobia is not only a South African but an African phenomenon. You know about it in South Africa because of the media freedom enjoyed here and suppressed in many African countries. Why do Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Chad, Ethiopia, Kakuma and Dadaab in Kenya have refugee camps, just to name a few?

Familiarise yourself with South African politics and its constitution. We have an interactive democracy where the leader takes a cue from the people. We enforce our democratic rights, such as the right to shelter/housing, clean water and sanitation, electricity, healthcare, and education. While in other countries, challenging government inefficiency is frowned upon and treated harshly, our soldiers and defence force are constitutionally not allowed to participate in politics. There is separation of powers. This constitutional doctrine divides state authority into three interdependent branches: the legislature (Parliament) makes laws, the executive (president and ministers) implements them, and the judiciary (courts) interprets them. This system of checks and balances prevents any single branch from gaining absolute power and ensures accountability, with the Constitution as the supreme law. It is upon this system that South Africa differs from other African countries, where coups and vote rigging are common. If you have a good foundation, your state will not fall apart. We should discuss what should be done to build a peaceful and prosperous democratic continent whose people are not refugees fleeing despotic leaders and internecine wars. On the other side, territorial protectionism is time immemorial. Groups of people living together have always protected their territories before colonialists drew borders, which the OAU and later the African Union decided we should accept as they are and not tamper with to maintain peace between states. We should start by resolving our internal problems and then call for unity. That will be a true union. We cannot unite in one corner of the continent. Our unresolved issues will catch up with us.

@UnityInSA @nyavorx Then Let The Laws Deal With Them And Stop Attacking People. You know your problems but you can’t face them . There will be a time soon and very soon. You will cry for Help Africans and You will stand alone 🤔🤔🤔🤔😎😎😎😎🌍🌍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

"Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma's ignorance and bigotry are alarming, and she clearly does not know that Ghana is officially hosting 3,194 South Africans. The Africans you are targeting together are the very people responsible for your liberation." Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa slams the leader of the March & March movement in South Africa.

When are Ghana elections? This one is campaigning for elections by blowing an isolated case out of context. His outburst is not helpful but ruins the relationship between ordinary people. In South Africa we have many Ghanaians whose visas expired a long time ago while 3,194 South African nationals in Ghana live legally. Why want South Africa to bend the law and not want the same for your country? It is hypocrisy.

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa reveals that 3,194 South African nationals living in Ghana have registered for their Ghana Cards under the non-citizen category. #TheKeyPoints #TV3GH

@KeaGqi @zabediela In some circles, it is said that he wanted apartheid South Africa to help him fight ZAPU because they ( ZAPU) like ANC were sponsored by Soviet Union while ZANU-PF was not. How ANC claims alliance to ZANU-PF is not historical correct and is done for nefarious reasons.

Zimbabweans: we helped you fight apartheid Meanwhile their leader said this

@Lesufi Why not keep quiet? 🤐 You don’t know what evidence he may produce. This may come back to haunt you. That man is against the wall. He will go down with many.

Setting the record straight

@ramalokot They are not illegal. They have proper documentation

So there are no 🇿🇦 in 🇳🇬🇬🇭 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@S_OkudzetoAblak something to take home @simbachitando and all this fake pan Africanists

What attracts people to migrate down south is the constitution with basic human rights. The freedoms that the people enjoy in South Africa are not found anywhere in Africa. For example, pre-trial detention is an excessive challenge in several African countries, where individuals can sometimes wait months or even years for their trials to be finalised. In some contexts, such as Malawi, pre-trial detainees for certain offences may be held for up to thirty days in subordinate courts or 90 days for serious crimes in high courts before their trials begin. In South Africa, people get bail even when there is evidence that they will evade justice and they don’t have a permanent address. Besides South Africa, no African country embraces the rights of LGBT+. No African country empowers its people economically like South Africa. In some countries, public servants can go months without pay, as is happening in South Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon and Zimbabwe, to mention a few. This happens partly because of economic hardships and partly because of corruption. Many African countries do not provide basic healthcare services. Their leaders and family members, when sick, go overseas or come to South Africa, as is happening now with the president of Malawi. All this nonsense is happening not because of colonialism, as our leaders like to say while shifting blame onto others, instead of accepting their ineffectiveness. In all this madness, nothing precludes Africans from copying the South African constitution and levelling the playing field for economic growth. @S_OkudzetoAblak There is a saying that the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their true names. The hardships, including the breakdown of natural relationships among Africans, are brought to us, courtesy of our leaders. The so-called xenophobia that you hear about in South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya today is as a result of poor political leadership.

Black South Africans are correct. Kick out all illegal immigrants from South Africa. You Pan Africanists just want to exploit South Africa with your Borderless Africa project.

She learned from your “Strategy and Tactics” how to woo the black vote. While you read ANC propaganda based on pre-freedom rhetoric punctuated with socialist slogans or glorifying past leaders who played their role in liberation and not in post-apartheid government administration, and on the other hand navigate the corruption scandals of current leaders, it is a very difficult task for you to convince the masses. She is ahead of you. She uses the failures of the party in eradicating inferiority and the subtle belief among people of colour that whites are better than blacks. How would you blame people with such thoughts when you do the opposite of everything we agreed to do upon taking over the country? Our leaders, Comrade Mbaks, are engaged in self-aggrandisement to an extent that even a blind man can see that the life they live is one of opulence sponsored by taxpayers. Coming back to wooing the people, do not tell us about Mandela, Tambo, Hani or Winnie Mandela. Those have played their part. The people don’t eat history. Accept that the deployees failed to deliver the message. Do not apologise and ask for another chance. You did that before and you did not improve service delivery. Instead you embroiled yourselves in more corruption scandals than before. Let the voters decide. Do not send people who have obvious corruption scandals to the people. Deploy lesser-known people without scandals. Do not bring bling into your campaign to the poor masses who depend on social grants to make ends meet daily. It is an insult and disrespectful.

Helen is doing the most pathetic and sickening patronage, and patronizing using the team we love Orlando Pirates. She's never been a supporter nothing wrong for choosing us but it's sickening all in the name of winning black vote.

Why, when it comes to South Africa, do laws have to be ignored? Will Ghana allow an influx of migrants with no proper documentation? Why do Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe have refugee camps? When will they say the same about the Arab North African states of Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya? Until they talk about respecting South African sovereignty and its laws, fixing their constitutions, stimulating their economies, and stop abdicating their responsibilities towards their people by offloading them onto South Africa, African leaders will continue to “cry” foul and claim that they helped South Africans achieve their freedom. Their reactions are not helping to resolve the problem but show that they insist on offloading their responsibilities to others, which makes a mockery of the freedom they claim to have achieved from colonial times. We can’t afford to have a “liberated” continent with a suffering majority. Something is not right. @S_OkudzetoAblak

The real reason some Black South Africans don't like migrants from other African countries African immigrants significantly contribute to South Africa's economy by fostering entrepreneurship, creating jobs for locals, and providing skills in key sectors like health and education

@VoiceOfOurAnces Do you live in South Africa?

@thulani_kate @Lesufi The presence of the GNU is saving us from rampant corruption. It is also saving many careers and political careers. Many would be going to prison at the end of their term and loss of power.

@Lesufi The only few voices left in the ANC who see the GNU for what it is ...a fragile arrangement that risks diluting the original transformative agenda.

We remain inspired, Pres OR Tambo.The next phase will ensure total emancipation and unity of our people. The ANC with the SACP and other progressive formations will take us there. We refuse to be co-opted by reactionary forces and racists who think they can plot a regime change

The train has long left the station. According to comrade Thabo Mbeki, who said 60% of ANC membership are criminals and involved in corruption, what percentage of those holding executive positions is involved in corruption? Remove the criminality in the ANC and replace it with upright leadership; what you have said will be achieved.

So, scamming, as regulated by Penal Code 419 in Nigeria, is a government-sanctioned crime? How can they claim to have spent billions freeing South Africa? Who did they give the money to and what was that money for? Was PW Botha selling freedom? We shed tears and blood for this freedom. None of these crybabies is crying for better chances back home.

May you also direct the same anger to the Arab North African states and Sudan. 🇸🇩 @S_OkudzetoAblak. Do not forget the internecine wars in Congo and northern Nigeria, which are displacing millions of people. If you keep quiet and only direct this anger to South Africa, then your reaction towards a single event involving one person of Ghanaian descent is not genuine but has ulterior motives. Do not forget to call those Ghanaians who are calling for the expulsion of Nigerians and other foreigners out of Ghana to order. Lastly, you hypocrites, take the plank out of your own eye; then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

South Africans don’t understand this because they are not educated enough to know. Tell them !!!!

@S_OkudzetoAblak what do you say about this? First take the plank out in your own eyes, then you will see clearly to remove a speck from your brother’s eye.

@Abramjee @Prof_Cachalia I think they blew the whole thing out of proportion. On the other side, Ghana is crying foul while they do so to Nigerians on daily basis and government is calling their ambassadors to come to explain themselves. @S_OkudzetoAblak

STATEMENT BY THE ACTING MINISTER OF POLICE ON ATTACKS AGAINST GHANAIAN NATIONALS AND OTHER FOREIGN NATIONALS: @Prof_Cachalia The Ministry of Police strongly condemns the recent xenophobic acts of violence and intimidation directed at Ghanaian nationals and other foreign nationals within the Republic of South Africa. These actions are not only unlawful, but they stand in direct opposition to the values of dignity, equality, and human rights upon which our democracy is founded. South Africa is a constitutional state governed by the rule of law. No individual or group has the authority to take the law into their own hands, irrespective of grievances or frustrations. The Ministry of Police wishes to advise the members of the public that acts of xenophobia, violence, looting, or intimidation will not be tolerated under any circumstances. The South African Police Service has been instructed to act decisively and without hesitation in addressing these incidents. All those found to be participating in, inciting, or supporting such criminal conduct will be identified, apprehended, and brought before the courts. The Ministry of Police calls on all communities to remain calm and to reject any attempts to sow division and hatred among residents of our country. The Ministry further urges community leaders, civil society organisations, and all stakeholders to work together with law enforcement agencies to prevent further violence and to promote dialogue and understanding.

In 1971 Biko wrote: “It will not sound anachronistic to anybody genuinely interested in real integration to learn that blacks are asserting themselves in a society where they are treated as perpetual under-16s. One does not need to plan for or actively encourage real integration. Once the various groups within a given community have asserted themselves to the point that mutual respect has to be shown, then you have the ingredients for a true and meaningful integration. At the heart of true integration is the provision for each man, each group to rise and attain the envisioned self. Each group must be able to attain its style of existence without encroaching on or being thwarted by another. Out of this mutual respect for each other and complete freedom of self-determination, there will obviously arise a genuine fusion of the life-styles of the various groups. This is true integration. From this it becomes clear that as long as blacks are suffering from an inferiority complex—a result of 300 years of deliberate oppression, denigration and derision—they will be useless as co-architects of a normal society where man is nothing else but man for his own sake. Hence what is necessary as a prelude to anything else that may come is a very strong grass-roots build-up of black consciousness such that blacks can learn to assert themselves and stake their rightful claim. Thus in adopting the line of non-racial approach, the liberals are playing their old game. They are claiming a ‘monopoly of intelligence and moral judgement’ and setting the pattern and pace of the realisation of the black man’s aspirations.”

No Retreat, no surrender, forward towards a prosperous and equal South Africa!

Is this xenophobia? What evidence do you have that this person is an immigrant? We don’t do that, here. This appears to be a criminal attached by community. He is not even a foreigner that person. Do not take videos of people fighting and post it here as xenophobia. Every government has intelligence agencies in every country. Verify the information with them first before posting it on social media.

Another disturbing video shows how black foreigners are being treated in Durban, South Africa, while security personnel look on without taking any action.

Government of Ghana loves attention. Their people are also frustrated by illegal immigrants in their country. Is there a South African who entered the country illegally? How many South Africans are in Ghanaian prisons? Do you know that some of your people are in drug trafficking and pretend to be running hair salons? We want to be friends, but let us respect each other’s sovereignty and the laws. Stop bullying us. I expect you to call on your people and other immigrants to respect the host country rather than approaching this issue with an egotistical attitude towards us. Lastly, rebuild the African Union to deal decisively with the issue of dictators, human rights abusers and vote rigging to avoid people running away from their countries. Encourage the stimulation of democracy and economic development in Africa so that we do not become vagrants in our continent. Medaase.
