@IOL We cannot have elderly people (fossils) make decisions for us. She's long past retirement age, as most politicians are. They make shitty decisions that will affect us, by the time they'll be dead.

Deporting undocumented foreign nationals from South Africa would not automatically create jobs, says former African Union (AU) chairperson Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Read on tinyurl.com/ywv9e597 #news #UnemploymentCrisis #ImmigrationDebate #NkosazanaDlaminiZuma #LabourMarket

If Zimbaweans and Nigerians, fought as hard to fix their countries, as they are fighting to stay in SA, Zimbabwe and Nigeria wouldn't be the shitholes they are today.

This tweet lives rent free in my mind ✊🏽🇿🇦

@Olivia_LaGrange @BusInsiderSSA HONESTLY, it's not that deep. It's fucking Twitter, NOT a parliamentary debate. Those who get it - get it. If you don't, you have the option to scroll, but you're attacking someone who shares your values all because you don't understand social media commentary ? Voestek !

@IshWhereItsAt @BusInsiderSSA Do you HONESTLY expect the majority of South Africans to get your sarcasm ? Honestly?

What African country would you relocate to today?

eNCA got a community note😩😩😂😂😂

You cannot keep demanding compassion from South Africans while other African governments refuse to carry the same responsibility.

Nationalism & Patriotism is not XENOPHOBIA.

@Olivia_LaGrange @BusInsiderSSA IT IS SOCIAL MEDIA. NOT A PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT I DO IN MY PERSONAL CAPACITY AS IT RELATES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. STFU.

@IshWhereItsAt @BusInsiderSSA In times like these sarcasm can have DIRE consequences. Be very careful how you move

@nuronasew @Am_Blujay Lol, okaY - idk wtf you're saying, you don't have basic knowledge of OUR country's heritage and that's okay. Focus on the coloniser raping and trafficking kids there by YOU.

@Olivia_LaGrange @BusInsiderSSA Ma'am, in case you don't understand sarcasm or humour - I am a PROUD South African who is trying to get people to refrain from coming here considering how we're struggling as a result. You ruined it🙃

@IshWhereItsAt @BusInsiderSSA

@PonchoHeadHonch @Am_Blujay Again, you cannot construct sentence. You think insulting someone is a conversation while you cannot form coherent sentences. How disgraceful and pathetic, your mom should've swallowed😘

@IshWhereItsAt @Am_Blujay This isn’t school faggot .. how was the grammar there fag ?

My Sister Jacinta finished Malema here🔥🔥🔥 "A convicted criminal has the audacity to call March and March and it leaders a vigilante group" "A person who is currently running away from the law and was found guilty by a court is calling us criminals"

@IOL If migrants are suffering ke problem ya mang ??they must just go back home in the same way they came.

@IOL Why suffer in a foreign country, breaking it's laws - when you can just go home ?

Bishop Raphael Bahebwa from the Democratic Republic of the Congo says immigrants are suffering — forced to sleep on the streets without food, toilets, or shelter, and left exposed to the elements. iol.co.za 📷: Xolile Mtembu / IOL #bishop #immigrants #suffering #streets

@Mapentz @SedikoR My man, the legacy of apartheid is irrelevant to mention in the context of our current immigration crisis. The DEMOCRATIC government has facilitated lawlessness due to a lack of law ENFORCEMENT and a lack of ACCOUNTABILTY. Apartheid arguments hold ZERO weight rn.

@SedikoR Illegal immigration is not something unique to SA. Legacy of apartheid has meant that black SAns still find themselves economically destitute 30 years into democracy. Largely due to inability to control means of production. Targeting African immigrants will not solve this.

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.

Debate on illegal immigration is a matter of law and sovereignty. Therefore, opposing illegal immigration does not mean opposing immigration itself. It means defending the principle that nations have both the right and the responsibility to regulate who enters their borders. To conflate opposition to illegal immigration with hostility toward immigrants is misleading.
