If South Africa is a lawless state, then it should be lawless for everyone. It cannot be that bylaws are strictly enforced on citizens, with threats of fines and charges, while the undocumented can occupy spaces and trade freely.

@MusimwaNewman @TheLifeZoomer @b_mab01 Exactly my thoughts when I read that 😂

@TheLifeZoomer @b_mab01 They be like: “Don’t you dare stop that ‘black tax’…” (deep down in their hearts) 🤣🤣🤣

I had an Uncle visit us from Zimbabwe. He says we should never ever think of relocating back to Zimbabwe. He is the third relative who has said this. We will die in exile it seems😢

Imagine a whole South African rushing to register their child out of fear that people coming from outside can just walk in and enroll without a single document. That alone should tell you something is off. And if you were raised right, you wouldn’t want kids to suffer in their own country because of decisions made by you or your family. People understand where you come from, but why must South African kids take the fall for that?

A South African is expected to provide previous records, proof of residence, medical information, a birth certificate, and parents’ documentation, yet an undocumented immigrant gets to access the school system without any of that.

@Abramjee They call SA xenophobic but when things get shaky back home this is still where they run to. At some point we must be honest about that contradiction. You can’t reject a country and depend on it at the same time.

Large queues of Mozambican nationals have formed at the South Africa border ahead of a planned strike in Mozambique tomorrow. Many appear to be crossing into South Africa as uncertainty grows over the shutdown action. The current situation has raised concern over possible disruptions and border pressure.

Totally true. He basically chose to lose the battle at home by pushing things like handing out SA IDs to people who are clearly here illegally. That’s not something most South Africans are ever going to back, so now it looks like he’d rather go win outside SA where that kind of lawlessness is more easily accepted.

@Ankhknowledge @Mothematiks He’s advancing his african political career at the expense of South African.. he can see he will nva be a president of this country.. the least he could do, is for Africans to think he loves them.. kanti noh

What happened to Julius Malema? HONESTLY 🤔

@Mothematiks I don’t even think he knows any better, at some point it stops being strategy and just becomes who you are.

@Ankhknowledge So he is doing that by messing the little good legacy that he has? 🤔

What’s happening in South Africa is a reminder for all us Africans to ensure that our countries work. Home is home and we have to demand for the best otherwise visitors have been getting mistreated since Sodom and Gomorrah.

When Last Did Zimbabweans have a March in Zimbabwe?

We support legal migration and fair trade. We reject crime, illicit networks, and any form of organised criminal activity regardless of who is involved

They’re always loud about how they stood with South Africa during apartheid but that same energy disappears when it’s time to fix their own situations. That’s where the logic falls apart because the real question will always be ‘what are they actually doing for themselves now’? You can’t keep pointing outward and celebrating past solidarity while ignoring what’s happening at home today. That contradiction is what makes the argument weak.

But how can south Africans fight a brutal system like apartheid but other African countries can't fight an 80 year old dictator?

I wasn’t aware South Africans hate crime so much we wanna fund a whole commission of inquiry to continue its work undisturbed.

Scenes in Hillbrow right now during march against illegal immigrants @TheCitizen_News

Justice Department says it doesn't have money to extend The Madlanga Commission for a further 6 months. R123mln of the R147mln budget has already been spent. Look at how much so-called justice costs in SA!? I hate this legal system... all about enriching lawyers & judges! Tsek

@AsakyGRN They don’t travel because they were taught not to bother anyone. We are so invested in their affairs. We should be fighting Tinubu not South Africans. They gave us a home in the last 30years and all we do is destroy it like we did back home.

With that kind of reasoning honestly keep these conversations in your family circle so you can all sit there and agree with each other on those nonsense takes. Because calling the poor a “burden” just shows you don’t understand how an economy actually works you’re just talking loud without saying anything real.

@Ankhknowledge @u_Nombulelo So making excuses for stupidity The poor carry the economy how when they are a burden

Middle class yona can be so tone deaf on the issues experienced by majority of South Africans. Their thinking frustrates me because they’re never had to deal with the issues that many SAns face.

They don’t burn things because they think it’s a solution, they do it because they feel ignored until things get extreme, and that ‘they must just clean up” line is too simplistic, because people can care about their environment and still be angry at a system that’s failing them. And that contribution argument doesn’t hold. Everyone contributes in some way, especially the poor who carry the economy in ways people like to overlook. If you’re not ready to go deep into a complex situation then don’t speak on it. This isn’t something you approach with emotions or surface level takes you actually have to understand what’s going on before you talk.

@Ankhknowledge @u_Nombulelo Burning buildings is going to make them heard but will that solve the situation? They must clean up its them who stay in that place and most of them cant say they have contributed to the government more than it has benefited them.

@colonialism101 @u_Nombulelo Hold on that’s a very lazy and surface level take. People don’t protest because they’re bored, they protest because they’re desperate and ignored. You can’t tell people to just clean up while the system that put them there stays the same. That’s just avoiding the real problem.

@u_Nombulelo The increase was not affecting them at that time, the poor are obviously going to be the first to be affected. The problem with poor people is that they burn buildings or march which is a waste of time and money, if they invested that energy in cleaning townships it will be ok
