Will it be right for Ghana to cancel South Africa?

@BravoTV Beverly Hills, hence I’m still holding on but by a very thin thread.

SAPS Arrests Nearly 1,900 Illegal Foreigners In One Week Under Operation Shanela @SAPoliceService The South African Police Service (SAPS) says it is intensifying nationwide efforts to combat illegal immigration and related criminal activities through its ongoing high-density crime-fighting initiative, Operation Shanela. According to SAPS, a total of 1,891 illegal foreigners were arrested during the past week for contravening the Immigration Act. The arrests were made during intelligence-driven operations, tracing operations, roadblocks, stop-and-searches and multidisciplinary law-enforcement initiatives conducted across all nine provinces. Police emphasised that these operations form part of broader efforts to combat crime, maintain law and order, and address challenges associated with undocumented persons operating unlawfully within communities. Since 1 January 2026, SAPS has arrested 29,371 illegal foreigners nationwide, highlighting the scale of ongoing enforcement efforts. Police also revealed that between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026, a total of 76,588 illegal foreigners were arrested across South Africa. Operation Shanela remains one of SAPS’ flagship crime-combating initiatives and continues to deliver results in the fight against serious and violent crime. In addition to targeting illegal immigration, the operation has contributed to the arrest of wanted suspects, the recovery of unlicensed firearms, the confiscation of drugs and the disruption of criminal activities in various communities. Acting National Commissioner, Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, reaffirmed SAPS’ commitment to enforcing the law without fear or favour, while ensuring that all operations are conducted within the framework of the Constitution and applicable legislation. Police have also urged communities to work with law-enforcement agencies by reporting criminal activity and to avoid acts of vigilantism, intimidation or violence against foreign nationals. SAPS says it remains committed to maintaining peace, stability and the rule of law, and that Operation Shanela will continue to be intensified as part of efforts to improve safety and security throughout the country.

BEFORE YOU CALL THEM YOUR BROTHERS AND/OR SISTERS YOU MUST KNOW HOW WE WERE TREATED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES! Africa has 54 sovereign states, but only 3 countries hosted South Africans for an agreed period of time and it was all based on preconditions and restrictions: - Angola 🇦🇴 - Tanzania 🇹🇿 - Zambia 🇿🇲 Above were the countries that hosted South Africans with a clear understanding that, after sometime, they will go back to South Africa. Mozambique 🇲🇿, Lesotho 🇱🇸, Botswana 🇧🇼, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and Swaziland 🇸🇿 were transit countries. Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Egypt 🇪🇬 and Algeria 🇩🇿offered training camps for a selective period and soon after, South Africans had to return to the 3 host countries. Very few countries were in solidarity support, but never in financial support. BARE FACTS: 1. Countries like Kenya 🇰🇪 and Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩 used to deport any South African found in their country back to apartheid South Africa for possible death 💀 2. It is quite interesting to acknowledge that the liberation movement was once expelled by host nations, and it was then that Cde Kebby Maphatsoe lost his arm in Angola 🇦🇴 3. ⁠The liberation movement was also expelled from Mozambique 🇲🇿, Swaziland 🇸🇿, Lesotho 🇱🇸 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 4. Botswana 🇧🇼 didn’t even bother to host South Africans 5. While living in those host countries, South Africans were living in camps and they were not allowed to mix with the local people from those countries 6. They had to lease land to grow their own food 7. They had to build a school and a hospital which were fully funded by countries in Europe that were against Apartheid 8. Freedom of movement was at a minimum 9. Every South African had to leave the camp which was once every fortnight 10. They had to have a permit which only allowed them to leave the camp for only one hour 11. If they came back past the given time, they would be arrested by the soldiers who were stationed at the entrance of the camp 12. More importantly, there has never been a South African that worked in any country in Africa during that time 13. Living conditions were not good; Malaria, AIDS and other diseases killed South Africans as those diseases were very foreign and were non-existent in South Africa MORE FACTS: 1. In March 1980, PAC members protested in Tanzania about the living conditions and soon after, 17 PAC members were gunned down for protesting in a foreign country by the FFU Unit. This was a clear reminder that you don’t protest in a foreign country. 2. South Africans were very much aware that they were in those countries temporarily and they couldn't wait to return home 3. In 1977, the group of Tsietsi Mashinini that was made up of only 20 students was deployed from Somafco, Tanzania, to go study in Nigeria, and while they were there, they were welcomed with so much resistance. Nigerian 🇳🇬 students protested claiming South Africans are there to take their jobs and women 4. Not too long after that protest, in just 2 months, one comrade by the name of Joel, was poured with acid on his face. Not too long he died, and it was then that the group had to be recalled back to Somafco 5. Tsietsi Mashinini and Mvuyo, Mbuyiseni Makhubu leaders of 1976 Soweto Uprising dissapeared without a trace at University of Ibadan, Nigeria 🇳🇬 Angeke sikhohlwe! Re ka se lebale! Sehle silibale! Lest we forget! 🤞🏽 Article by Gloria Ogle.

IT’S NOT XENOPHOBIA, IT’S NO LEADERSHIP — A MOZAMBICAN PERSPECTIVE _By Solomon Mondlane Swati Newsweek 08 May, 2026 I am writing as a Mozambican who has lived, studied, and worked in three countries: Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa. I did both my primary and secondary education in Swaziland as a foreigner from Mozambique. Because of that lived experience, I reject the easy label that South Africans are xenophobic. _When leadership is absent, people step in — and it turns chaotic_ What we see in South Africa today is not xenophobia. It is what happens in any country when there is a vacuum of leadership. When the state fails to secure borders, regulate immigration, police crime, and communicate clearly, ordinary citizens step in to “solve” the problem themselves. The result is almost always disorder, violence, and scapegoating. That is failed governance, not national hatred. _If South Africa is xenophobic, then the whole of Africa is_ I know this because I lived it in Swaziland as a young Mozambican. We were subjected to ugly name-calling. Once every month, law enforcement targeted undocumented Mozambicans for harassment. People were forcefully removed from their rented apartments, loaded into police trucks like firewood, and deported. Some Mozambicans were recruited to work in sugarcane fields by citizens. At the end of the month, those same employers would call law enforcement. The workers were arrested and deported without their salaries. Refugee camps were created for both South Africans and Mozambicans, but in separate communities. The state decided who belonged where. But because Swazis were doing it, nobody called it xenophobia. There were no global headlines about “Swazi xenophobia.” It was treated as immigration enforcement. _Mozambique is doing the same_ In Mozambique, foreigners coming to visit are subjected to roadblocks — or what President Venâncio Mondlane once described as “slavery toll gates.” Law enforcement demands bribes everywhere a foreigner goes within the country. By the time they arrive at their destination, they are left with nothing. Those who settle in Mozambique face another trap. They are invited into business partnerships, and when they have invested, they are insulted, falsely accused — mainly as terrorists — by citizens, and then deported. What do you call that? Just because it is done by Mozambicans, is it not xenophobia? _The double standard_ The difference is not the behavior. The difference is South Africa’s size, media visibility, and economic pull. Millions migrate to South Africa because it works better than home. When tensions flare there, cameras are present. When the same, or worse, happens in smaller states, the world stays silent. _South Africa needs leadership, not labels_ South Africans need to be engaged by their government. That means the government should start leading from outside the walls of Parliament. Secure the borders. Deal with illegal immigration like other African countries are doing. It is their sovereign right. In reality, South Africa has been the most lenient country on the continent. It has absorbed millions. What we are witnessing now is not hatred of foreigners. It is the outcome of years without clear policy, without enforcement, and without honest conversations with citizens. Call it what it is: a lack of leadership. When the state abandons its job, the street takes over. And the street has no training, no law, and no accountability. If we are honest, the same behavior we condemn in South Africa exists across Africa. The cure is not shaming South Africans. The cure is leadership — in Pretoria, in Maputo, in Mbabane, and across the AU. _Solomon Mondlane_ is a former Secretary for CAD foreign relations desk and former Mozambique correspondent for Eswatini's largest online newspaper the (Swati Newsweek)_, _Swazi Voice_, and _Swaziland Democratic News_. He is a current member of ANAMOLA and lives in Matola, Mozambique.

@Nolwazii_K @MolebatsiTurf The political spectrum is very wide. Political participation isn’t limited to party representation of a municipal council, legislature or parliamentary seat.

While Jacinta is mobilizing the fight emphakathini, Enhle Njomane & Princy Mthombeni are gathering resources to fight this via constitutional reform. Let Black women run this county🙏🏾

The recent protest marches against illegal immigration in SA have successfully elevated the issue into national and regional discourse, prompting politicians, policy analysts, media, and citizens to openly debate immigration policy and border management. This has placed pressure on public representatives and civil servants to respond with clear action. At the same time, the negative consequences cannot be ignored: reports of harassment and violence against foreign nationals must be thoroughly investigated, and the law must take its course. Accountability is essential for those who commit acts of violence against foreign nationals, whether documented or undocumented, as well as for individuals residing illegally in the country.

@Lindy_nzabe @Dzungie007 It’s just blatant ignorance. We’re still young in our democracy to be classist about the immigration problem. Even if they’re immune to pubic healthcare, townships, public schools etc. There are relatives, or domestic workers or someone close enough who bears the sad reality.

You can’t have an honest conversation about illegal immigration with people who don’t experience the pressure on public healthcare, don’t live in those communities and are hell bent on pretending there isn’t a problem.

@SedikoR @Sophie_Mokoena The news reported that only 10 passengers were documented. And the rest were in the country illegally.

Mme @Sophie_Mokoena are there any anti-immigrant sentiments or there are anti-illegal immigrant sentiments? Regards,

@nonkululeko1402 @Mo_Leratoo Yes, they should contribute to the economy of the country. Not this thing of making money here and sending it to their countries.

@Mo_Leratoo Even the legal ones must be certified first

Guys are we saying all of them must go or just undocumented ones?

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.

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

@Lush_Beauty1 6

You are on a 17 Hour flight and you can only pick one seat for the entire trip. Which celebs are you sitting with and why?🤣

@TheRHPolls @BravoTV @Andy Yes, she’s been on this storyline for three seasons. She isn’t being honest about her affairs thus there’s nothing left to give of the situation.

Do you think a ‘pause’ for Dorit Kemsley would be the right move for #RHOBH? 💎

@XolsTYQ @Anele @khayadlanga Those R100M homes are implicated in money laundering schemes

@Anele @khayadlanga The views will ⬇️ . Akere they think we're playing when we say we want top tier luxury. We dont care that they filmed you in a backroom. Times have changed. There's already so much content on Social Media we want to see unattainable luxury thats buying those R100 million homes.

We once shot a Top Billing segment in my two bedroom apartment on the balcony nogal and it was me cooking for @khayadlanga and guests he had selected. My small little kitchen was all over there between mansions and gowns. Please be very scared of the single story.

@ms_tourist This is my issue with our political systems. Once you elevate a person to leadership. Thinking they’ll represent your concerns. They end up being out of touch with important issues happening on the ground.

She is on point

@naytholo You are deliberately starting rumours. He was attending a wedding. If he got married, it would have made headlines on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

It looks like tik tok influencer goitsemang got married and kept it private 🤌🏻
