@daddyhope I hear that in Nigeria there is a carry bag that is known as Ghana must go to this day. What is the other cloth that women wrap around the waist called in Zimbabwe in mocking Zambians to this day?

My dear brother, I do not know how old you are, but let us not rewrite history. Let us confront our history honestly and accept both the good and the bad that comes with it. Mozambicans and Malawians were ridiculed in Zimbabwe. Even Zambians were mocked. If someone wanted to dismiss another person as poor, they would say, “Do not give me your kwachas.” Mozambicans were called derogatory names such as “Kalusha.” These things happened. We cannot pretend they did not. What we must do is acknowledge that such behaviour was wrong and learn from it. This is not a uniquely Zimbabwean story. It is a history that runs across much of Africa. The Nigerians who are victims of xenophobia in South Africa today also have chapters in their own history. In 1983, under President Shehu Shagari, hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians were expelled from Nigeria during the infamous “Ghana Must Go” campaign. That painful episode remains one of the most remembered examples of anti-immigrant sentiment on the continent. Africa’s past is full of such uncomfortable truths. Let us not sanitise them. Let us acknowledge them, learn from them, and ensure that future generations do not repeat the same mistakes. I was once invited for lunch by Graça Machel, the widow of President Nelson Mandela, at her home in Johannesburg. During our conversation, her son spoke very emotionally about his experiences growing up and how he was ridiculed for being Mozambican while attending one of Zimbabwe’s most prestigious schools, St George’s College. These things did happen. They are part of our history, however uncomfortable they may be. Acknowledging them is not about blaming an entire nation, but about recognising past wrongs so that we can learn from them and build a more tolerant and humane society.

@Lati95mak 🤭🤭

His thinking about Ntombi from Hammarskraal

@Katli_T Have you watched Tunisia?

@WebbMalcom @matigary So? It wont be the last if it does. Will you be fed your hunger?

@matigary Today South Africa will officially be the very first county to be kicked out of the world cup ⚽, let that sink in.

Xenophobia is not politics dumbass. Get your support from Ngizwe Mchunu and other xenophobes. Leave real Africans alone.

@Mafa6232 @AfricaFirsts Argentina is not a white country, it has been whitened on purpose

@AfricaFirsts I like what Argentina is doing, black people should learn to develop and represent their countries. why do black love being scattered all over the globe and forcefully want inclusion?

Has any Black player ever played for Argentina ??

@cobbo3 A centre back playing in a back four, plays 90 minutes without touching the ball? You gotta be very hopeful to believe such.

With the #WorldCup on, I am reminded of a wild African football story. Thomas “Langu” Sweswe (Zimbabwean defender, ex-Kaizer Chiefs) has been touted as football’s ultimate meme legend: he allegedly played a full 90 minutes in a 2011 Premier Soccer League (PSL) match without touching the ball once!!! Some even claim he was Man of the Match! 😂 This remains completely unverified; no official stats, footage, or match reports confirm it. Classic African football folklore/urban legend that refuses to die. Pure banter gold in SA/Zimbabwe football circles! ⚽👻

@_afro_politan You're too slow, Chinese miners are in charge in the DRC now.

Look deeper into it & you'll see that South African mining companies are front & centre, exploiting the DRCs' natural resources along with the rest of the western world.

@tagumamuchache1 @suntoshpillay A strong campaign by who? When it serves countries right when their citizens trek south.

@suntoshpillay I think maybe a strong campaign to discourage Africans from visiting South Africa as tourists is warranted at this point. You guys don't need the rest of the continent.

Unfortunately, as South Africans we do not travel enough within Africa, and pay very little attention to life above the Limpopo river. It shows.

@Sentletse They should not be trusted at all. They're not honest, probably doing this for some evil plan

Rwanda cannot be trusted

@GermanNkhwanana Man, its incredible. I was thinking earlier today that my dad was at my age when his wife, my mom died, leaving him with 6 children, the youngest being a week old. Damn, dude somehow managed to have all of them raised to adulthood, incredible.

Just been thinking about my late uncle. I have just realised that he died at just 33 years 😭. Why batho ba bogologolo ne e le batho ba batona at only 30 years 🙆🏿‍♂️.

@warlordkunyiwe @kay_mahapa In the 50s yes, 30 to 40 years apart with my point.

@NthokoN @kay_mahapa Mugabe studied in SA

People born in Musina were a few kilometres away from life altering circumstances.

@Knick_RSA You only checked planet earth man, perhaps there is somewhere else than earth

I googled this Guy there’s no record of him winning any league anywhere on Earth 😳😳😳

@muleya_dielan @kay_mahapa You may not be aware that Limpopo province shares a longer borderline with Botswana than Zimbabwe

@kay_mahapa The entire Limpopo province 😞😞😞

@njueNijue @MrJamesKe Well, since when does one guy's voice represent the millions who have been living with foreigners peacefully for decades?

@NthokoN @MrJamesKe Well I saw a video of one guy swearing it doesn’t matter who’s in RSA legally they all have to move out.

Imagine a white foreigner telling a black Zimbabwean that he doesn't belong in Africa. Let that sink in.

@njueNijue @MrJamesKe Its not something that South Africans dont know. Yet they're expected to tolerate the bullying amd arrogance witnessed daily, it's not sustainable

@NthokoN @MrJamesKe It’d be rude for us to tell you folks how to your country but we are asking for sobriety when approaching this emotive issue. There’s that one person that followed the RSA laws and have jobs which don’t conflict with the folks. Vigilantism will severely hurt their investments

@njueNijue @MrJamesKe Nothing happens to people who are in SA legally, and those who are in SA legally know it.

@NthokoN @MrJamesKe Our concern is that vigilantism won’t sort the underlying issues at hand but give room for authorities to determine who’s in RSA legally or illegally. Those with businesses and meet the threshold of the set rules by the republic what happens to them and their investments?

@njueNijue @MrJamesKe The Zim guy you're referring to was in SA, disrespecting South Africans daily, claiming that Zim is greater, yet he isn't staying in Zim due to bad conditions here. South Africans are expected to show respect to such arrogance on SA soil by foreigners.

@NthokoN @MrJamesKe Kiongozi is a Swahili word for a leader. It’s a word used to show respect.

@njueNijue @MrJamesKe Who is Kiongozi?

@NthokoN @MrJamesKe Kiongozi, how does tribalism fit on this topic? Have you been to South Africa?
