what an embarrassing time to be South African


Of the 'big 5' in Anglophone Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania), only Ghana doesn't have a significant part of its population actively seeking to facilitate a disastrous national suicide. Ghana's only major current problem is Galamsey, which is fixable.


@CozyBrian_ Bro, when you have ideas like this don't come to X to post them. If you don't have the skill get someone to build a system that can allow the idea to materialize. You never know



First they come for the gays. Tomorrow it will be you.









It’s funny how the countries that South Africa actually loves ..countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and Namibia, as well as our neighbouring sister countries like Botswana and Eswatini ..are quiet in all of this. These are people we actually love and care about.❤️🇰🇪🇳🇦🇹🇿🇧🇼🇸🇿❤️






Africans dey tear me pass. They never dey use “juju” for anything meaningful like national progress or eradication of systemic oppression. Kwasiasem like “stealing peoples husbands and killing your mother in law” What a demographic (derogatory)






“Attacks and mass deportation of foreign nationals is not a South African invention. Ironically, Ghana wrote the template in 1969. In November of that year, the government of Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia issued the Aliens Compliance Order, requiring foreigners without proper documentation to leave Ghana within weeks. What followed was one of the largest mass expulsions in postcolonial African history. Hundreds of thousands of West African migrants were forced to leave. Not the 300 that were reportedly flown back to Ghana a few days ago. We are talking about at least 500,000 people sent packing without any prior notice. The majority were Nigerians. Others came from Togo, Niger, Upper Volta (modern day Burkina Faso) and Côte d’Ivoire. These were not recent arrivals. Many had lived in Ghana for years, some for decades, even before the Gold Coast obtained its independence to form Ghana in 1957. Let us ask the right question. What led to this mass deportation of Africans by Ghanaian authorities? Ghana in 1969 was facing rising unemployment, economic stagnation and growing social discontent produced by governance failures that the Busia government had neither the capacity nor the political will to honestly address. And so it reached for the instrument that governments in economic difficulty have reached for across centuries and across continents: the foreigner. If citizens are struggling, immigrants must be part of the problem. It was a lie, and it was a politically effective lie, which is the most dangerous kind. What it was not was an accountability for the actual sources of Ghanaian economic difficulty, which had far more to do with the structural conditions of a commodity-dependent economy, the terms of Ghana’s integration into international trade, and the governance choices of successive Ghanaian administrations, than with the presence of Nigerian traders in Accra’s markets and Togolese farmers in Ghanaian plantations. Nigeria would follow a similar path a little more than a decade later. Nigeria, 1983: The Expelled Become the Expellers A little more than a decade later, Nigeria expelled approximately two million migrants during its own economic crisis. Among those expelled were Ghanaians, some of whom belonged to families that had themselves been displaced by Ghana’s 1969 expulsions and had relocated to Nigeria in search of the opportunity that xenophobia had stolen from them. Nigeria in 1983 was experiencing the consequences of oil revenue mismanagement on a scale that should have produced a fundamental reckoning with how the country’s political class had governed its extraordinary resource wealth. It did not produce that reckoning. It produced an expulsion order. The billions that had moved through Nigerian state accounts during the oil boom years and arrived in private hands rather than public infrastructure were not the subject of the national conversation. The Ghanaian mechanic and the Cameroonian trader were.” Read full piece: @faridabemba/south-africa-is-expelling-africans-today-6cdb2e7570f1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@faridabemba/s…
