When it was their marches and shutdowns, it was “activism.” Now citizens speak about borders, jobs and public pressure, suddenly it’s “dangerous.”

More than a hundred memorandums have been submitted to Home Affairs, Labour and Union Building, regarding illegal immigration. No action has ever been taken. So to call citizens vigilantes is a tool to silence them over legitimate sovereignty concerns.

What's soooooooo difficult for South African 🇿🇦 government to enforce immigration laws?? Make it make sense!!🚮

@ferialhaffajee March and March are not funded by some unknown entity. What you keep ignoring is the lived realities of the people crying about illegal immigrants .You shouldn't speak on things that don't harm or concern you.

Comment: March and March has crowdfunded R13 000.00 of a R20 000.00 goal - fok all. So who's paying for everything? The bigger question for me is how on earth they get open mic as they do on mass media? I want to recommend a book. It's called "The Media and the Rwanda genocide" edited by Allan Thompson with a statement by Kofi Annan. backabuddy.co.za/campaign/march…

I suppose the problem is that we expect the party that presided over the problem to fix it. We are the fools, actually. They don’t have a solution. They didn’t have one before these protests started. They don’t have one now.

@YungZiroh @MmusiMaimane If you were South African you would know that South Africans voted the ANC out ,they are in a GNU so it's not just ANC in Government, stay out of things you don't know ,your country needs your voice more.

@FortunateKgomo @MmusiMaimane simply pressure Cyril to stop treating Harare with kiddy gloves and flying to Zim farms on a sunday to eat cake and ostrich eggs with criminals. In the broader sense vote for a party which is not friendly with tinubu, ED and museveni..why continue for ANC if its not delivering😎

Liberation movements have destroyed Africa. They have betrayed the promise they made to the people. They have become a cabal of criminality, corruption and cronyism. The enemy of South Africa is Emmerson Mnangagwa and not Kudzai the uber driver. The enemy of South Africa is Yoweri Museveni and not Kizito the barber. The enemy of South Africa is the NRM, FRELIMO, Zanu PF and not Fiona the desperate and impoverished african woman who fled these corrupt and violent regimes in Africa and is now cleaning toilets in our homes as a domestic worker. Let’s talk about the real enemy of South Africa. The real reason we have an immigration crisis. Let’s dial direct. The reason why we have immigration at these unmanageable levels is because these leaders, Museveni, Mnangagwa and Chapo have destroyed their home nations and beat up their citizens. Unfortunately they have received support and fellowship from the ANC. This must stop. Today I gave an important speech at the constitutional hill on how we address the immigration challenges we are facing in South Africa. You can read my Africa Day speech below…

@YungZiroh @MmusiMaimane "Simply pressure Cyril" What kind of pressure do you suggest? What is pressure anyway? Isn't protesting against illegal immigrantion pressure? You just like to talk.

@DineoDMufamadi Imagine it's like threatening poor people with poverty ,like? How bad can it get?

Suddenly those in their gated estates and luxury mansions are telling us that these strikes will destabilize the country and what not but what they don’t see is that most South Africans don’t feel the effects of a “stable country” as things stand Gaslighting SAns won’t work!

Zama zamas displaced an entire community recently, mothers and their babies had to seek refuge at a police station ngobusuku... Still no urgent meeting from government to find solutions for their saftety, security and welbeing... @Khu_Ntshavheni @SAP

Dr Ndlozi, I will respectully argue that your opening assertion overlooks a crucial principle: correctly naming the problem and mobilising around it. Accurate diagnosis is what enables societies to craft meaningful solutions, and your diagnosis cannot automatically stand in for theirs. While your long experience in organising marches and shutdowns is valuable, it cannot serve as a universal script for mobilisation. Each generation, each community, and each activist movement carries its own lived experiences and contexts. Respecting those diverse realities is essential. To assume that every activist is guided by “handlers” undermines their agency and silences their voices. People mobilise because of their own grievances and aspirations, not because they are puppets of unseen forces. Moreover, raising concerns is most effective when done in a spirit of genuine listening, rather than adopting the posture of a preacher addressing sinners who must repent. As you have presented yourself as an experienced mobiliser, I trust you will agree that mobilisation is not a morality play; it is a negotiation of power, dignity, and justice. To dismiss their efforts as “self-sabotage” without engaging with the concerns that drive them risks closing the door to constructive dialogue. The challenge, then, is not to lecture people into silence but to propose solutions that address the root causes of their grievances. At this stage, respecting their agency and listening without preconceived judgement is crucial for fostering constructive engagement. Constructive engagement requires recognising that the strategies and tactics of today’s activists are not of lesser intellect than those informed by past experiences of mobilisation. They reflect the realities and aspirations of the current contexts. By approaching these movements with humility and openness, we can foster dialogue. With utmost humility and respect, I am yielding to the chair.

From my understanding most politicians are saying: Yes, illegal immigration is a problem,but leave it alone and don't do anything about it, because if you do something about it we'll have to solve more problems later that may concern you, so we don't want to deal with this because if we do, you'll keep holding us accountable for other issues.

Nobody is denying your history of organising or activism. The question is why is it suddenly a problem when other people march against things they don’t want today? Protest has always been part of democracy in SA. If marches against corruption, racism, fees and injustice were valid, then people marching over issues affecting their communities now are also exercising that same democratic right, whether you agree with them or not. You have no exclusive rights to stage marches.

South African club, Orlando Pirates won a treble this season. This includes the South African Premiership, MTN 8 and Carling Knockout.

Ordinary South Africans don't benefit anything from these relationships we have with other African countries.Its only the big guys at the top who have business interests in those countries and they want to keep those relationships at our expense.

To label citizens who demand that their government fully enforce immigration laws without fear, favor, or prejudice as xenophobes, charlatans, extortionists, or lumpen elements is a misdiagnosis of the genuine safety, security, and sovereignty risks posed by porous borders. When government leadership fails to uphold its social contract with the people, it is inevitable that a leader will emerge from among the masses to champion their concerns. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Model cautions against relying solely on avoidance or competition when managing conflicts. Applying this framework, protests against illegal immigration should be approached with careful diagnosis and constructive interventions. Dismissing or threatening protestors through labels and or unleashing the mighty hand of the law on them not only undermines legitimate grievances but also escalates tensions. A balanced response by government and embassies requires acknowledging the citizens’ concerns, engaging in dialogue, and implementing fair solutions that strengthen both national security and social cohesion. Only then can conflict be transformed into an opportunity for trust-building and effective governance. Political rhetoric or sloganeering will not persuade the citizens to back down, because their demands are rooted in concrete lived realities rather than abstract words.

@Lindy_nzabe the sooner the matches turn violent the better for them. this marches need to stay as peaceful and pressure need to mount for them but they want to dismantle this marches by saying they promote violence, they did the same to dudula and others

On the one side South Africans are being called for calm, on the other side foreigners are on social media provoking South Africans and making a joke of them… Yet government has never called them out and told them their actions are not correct for people who are visitors in another country!!! This is very very bad

Jacinta is forcing the government to work and they don’t know what to do🤣.

Today’s engagement were with the GOVERNMENT AGAIN!! At the Union Buildings where several Ministers were part of the meeting and Angie telling us she will send the SANDF on the 30th of June The Second Engagement were with the private sector companies like McDonalds, Takealot, Uber etc. ,Durban Chamber, Department of Labour, Department of Home Affairs and EThekwini Mayor! We were talking about employment of foreign nationals and the risks of trade that come with the criminals who pretend to be refugees. But I bet you there’s still some smart ppl that will say we are not addressing our concerns to the right people ‼️‼️‼️‼️😒🫠🫠
