@trevortaylor @sfliberty That’s not my query. Is it true that some Ethiopians were forcibly removed from their fertile land to arid land to accommodate large scale farming during this time? That’s all.

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid. Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia. Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

@hatemytimeline @sfliberty I read the article, I know another opinion from Ethiopians and I am asking a question. You are not good at what you think you are good at. Dull to say the least.

@fatheranthoni You must be preaching the fate of Boko Haram, Ansura and Al-Shabbaab? Yes? Or are you preaching about Zanu-PF, or the ADF in Congo?

Failure, shame and global embarrassment shall follow all who abuse, beat and kill Africans on African soil. All the worst today and may your defeat be celebrated from Cape Angela to Cape Agulhas, from Ras Hafun to Pointe des Almadies, and in every corner of Africa between them. Say no to Xenophobia!!

King Sobhuza II bowing to King George VI in 1947, Nhlangano. King Sobhuza II used such diplomacy to get the British to side with Swaziland, as the country was so close to falling under the ZAR Boer Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Transvaal) administration again.

Here is a lesson, young man! fully, firmly, and without apology. You undermine South Africa because you cannot stand our success. You call us xenophobic because we refuse to be your escape hatch. You mock our challenges while ignoring our achievements. So let me remind you, South Africa is the engine of this continent. Without us, Africa would be poorer, sicker, hungrier, and weaker. Let me list what we are actually good at so you never forget. Healthcare. We have the best healthcare system, We provide free treatment to millions. Mother-to-child HIV transmission is under 1%. Our healthcare system, despite its strains, is the envy of the continent. We treat your sick when you cannot. We are the most food-secure nation in Africa. We export citrus, wine, maize, and macadamia nuts globally. We feed ourselves and our neighbours. We have world-class research, mechanisation, and supply chains. Our ports are the busiest in Africa. Our roads, railways, and airports connect the continent. Our financial system is robust. Our constitution is a global benchmark for human rights. We have a judicial system that holds leaders accountable. We have free press, civil society, and a citizenry that protests and votes. We do not run. We fight. We hold our leaders to account. something you refuse to do. We are a resilient nation! We are building renewable energy projects. We have a space programme. We have tech hubs that rival Nairobi and Lagos. We are not sitting still. We have challenges Yes! And we are working on it! corruption, unemployment, crime. But we own them. We confront them. We do not run from them. And we will fix them. Without your lectures. Without your pity. Without you. Africa needs South Africa because we lead. We build. We deliver. You need us to be great because when we fail, you have no excuse. When we succeed, you have no argument. So stop undermining us. Start building your own countries. We are South Africa and we are here to stay nana!!!!!

@LopesInsights Those unions failed with the temporary labour issue which was used to replace South Africans. They sold out South Africans. Why did they all suddenly stop this meaningful fight? What union with true purpose allows unknown, untraceable, untaxable labour in its midst. Smoke less.

Even South Africa’s trade unions — organisations that have every reason to focus on workers’ struggles — increasingly recognise how misguided it is to blame migrants for the country’s deep economic and social challenges. 🇿🇦 Unemployment, poverty, failing infrastructure, corruption, state capture, weak economic growth, and poor governance were not caused by a Zimbabwean waiter, a Malawian builder, a Congolese trader, or a Somali shopkeeper. They are the result of policy failures, political choices, and structural problems that have built up over decades. Scapegoating migrants may be emotionally satisfying for some politicians and activists, but it does nothing to create jobs, improve education, fix municipalities, restore electricity supply, or attract investment. In fact, it distracts from the real issues and divides working-class communities that share many of the same struggles. 🤝 History shows that when economies are under pressure, outsiders are often blamed for problems they did not create. But facts matter. Migrants are workers, taxpayers, entrepreneurs, consumers, and contributors to society. Many start businesses, create employment, and fill gaps in sectors where labour is needed. 📈 If South Africa wants a better future, the focus should be on economic growth, competent governance, fighting corruption, improving public services, and expanding opportunities for everyone who lives and works in the country — not chasing convenient political targets. 🎯 The real battle is not South Africans versus migrants. It is prosperity versus stagnation, accountability versus corruption, and solutions versus scapegoating. 🇿🇦✨

This entire lawyer who presumes to lecture us on constitutional law while her own country burns under dictatorship. Your useless president just extended his term to 2030!!! You speak of presumption of innocence? Due process? Law enforcement? Where was your presumption of innocence when South Africans were labelled xenophobic without trial? Where was your due process when you convicted us on social media? Where were your law enforcement officers when foreign nationals flooded our borders illegally? You are quick to quote our constitution but you have never respected our sovereignty. Let me educate you sisi girl! no one is burning property. No one is beating people. The only violence has come from foreign nationals attacking our law enforcement. Our protests are peaceful. We are exercising our rights! rights enshrined in that very constitution you cite. We are demanding due process for our people. We are demanding that our government enforce the laws that are already on the books. Do not lecture us about inhumane methods. You are a Zimbabwean, a citizen of a country where your own government has starved your people, where your own leaders have stolen your future, where your own constitution is a joke. And what have you done about it? Your people fled. They ran. That should be a sign for concern! They came to South Africa and some are in other countries in the world looking for greener pastures and now you lecture us? We are not violent. We are not crude. We are sovereign. We are tired. And we are done being gaslit by lawyers who refuse to look at their own country. Go fix Zimbabwe. Then come back and talk to us about law. We are waiting. But we are not holding our breath.

Government is currently implementing a Comprehensive Approach for Migration Management aimed at strengthening border security, enforcing immigration laws, tackling corruption and closing policy loopholes as part of a broader effort to address illegal immigration in South Africa. The plan is anchored on five pillars, namely, cracking down on violations of immigration and labour laws, preventing illegal entry into the country, stamping out corruption in the immigration system, strengthening immigration laws and policies, and working with other countries to address migration challenges across the region and continent. #MashatileQandA #MashatileNCOP #ExecutiveAccountability #PaulMashatile

@TomKhosa Understanding other countries requires a certain level of education and exposure. So when your people appear unaware, it’s not automatically because they’re too preoccupied to care.

A lack of exposure has led many South Africans to assume that other African countries are poor and undeveloped. The reality on the ground often tells a very different story.

We would love to visit other African countries. I would love to take a road trip to Nairobi, but the issue is , as soon as I leave South African border, there are no roads, no good quality fuel soon as I go beyond Botswana, no suitable accommodation, there’s just nothing beyond our borders it is discouraging

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich. But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity. We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts. You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest. The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.

I can’t even believe I am witnessing a day when Africans as a whole—both the elite and the illiterate are supporting a European nation over a Black African nation. But considering the hatred from majority of South Africans, they deserve it. #CZERSA

Mbabane mid 1960s: Before the high-rises and the bustling terminals, Mbabane's streets looked like this: a quiet, early-1960s conversation between the old verandas and a rising modern landscape." This was when the town was starting to tear itself moving from old to a modern era.
