Dear @eNCA,
I am deeply ashamed by the type of journalism displayed in this clip. As a trained journalist, and as a former eNCA journalist myself, I must say this is dangerous and highly questionable conduct, especially when a media crew is no longer merely documenting events, but appears to be facilitating or legitimising harassment.
There is a major difference between reporting on an incident and becoming part of the theatre of intimidation.
If a legal migrant is being surrounded, threatened or humiliated by a vigilante group, the role of journalists should be to document what is happening accurately, safely and fairly, while remaining conscious that the vulnerable person may already be under pressure or fear.
Once a crew starts staging interactions, shoving microphones into faces in a way that amplifies intimidation, or giving a vigilante leader a platform without challenge or context, you cross from journalism into participation.
It becomes even more problematic in South Africa, where xenophobic violence has previously led to deaths, displacement and mob attacks against African migrants, including Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Somalis and others, many of whom were legally documented, just like this man appears to be.
Media coverage in such contexts requires extreme caution because images and narratives can inflame public hostility.
Journalists can and should interview all sides, including controversial or vigilante figures, because journalism often requires engaging difficult voices. But ethical reporting also requires balance, context and humanity. A migrant should not be turned into a spectacle while the aggressor is normalised as an authority figure.
Your crew should have avoided creating conditions where the victim felt cornered, exposed or endangered simply because cameras were present, with microphones repeatedly shoved between him and the aggressor.
I am deeply embarrassed by the conduct of this eNCA crew. You should be ashamed of this type of journalism.
This is precisely the kind of irresponsible media conduct that has historically inflamed violence in societies under tension. Journalists must never become participants in intimidation campaigns.
In this clip, you are no longer acting as observers. You become actors within the confrontation itself, helping create a public theatre where a man who is legally in your country is harassed by an ignorant vigilante who does not even understand the law governing immigration and business ownership.
A documented immigrant in South Africa has the legal right to start a business unless the conditions of their visa explicitly prohibit it. That is the law.
Journalism must expose intimidation, not become the microphone of xenophobic vigilantism.

@NewsLionSA So what? Big retailers pay tax, employ South Africans and add aesthetic value to the country. They also set a standard of retail for aspiring SOUTH AFRICAN entrepreneurs.

Big retailers are the real winners from SA’s anti-migrant protests, says lawyer Brian Kagoro. Demos have closed down foreign-owned small spaza shops in townships amid claims they’re taking local jobs. But Kagoro predicts large chains, like Shoprite, will pick up the market share and profit. He also points out many Zimbabweans cross the border to buy South African goods but reckons that could be slashed if SA businesses set up in Zimbabwe and offer services there instead. Makes sense?

Please watch the entire video the conversation just gets worse. Driver's info and picture is at the end. I am trying to spread awareness about situations we are put in. I requested a ride from Johannesburg to Pretoria. This was the longest ride of my life. At some point I tried changing the s3xual topic to how dangerous it is for uber/bolt drivers because taxi drivers fight with them and he told me he had protection because he kept his f!rearm in the car. At that point I knew i just had to play along and pretend to be nice so l dont get hurt as he was far bigger and older than me.
Please do not wonder why I am giggling or laughing at what he
is saying even though I am uncomfortable, for my safety I played
nice. I just wanted to get home safely.
He even suggested that he was willing
to pull the car over on the highway if I
was willing to do something with him.

@athenkosi591 @JacintaNgobese That stuff you’re saying, it’s not going to happen. No illegal immigrant will be documented here. They must be deported, plain and simple.

I am not exactly sure why some Africans are angry that African countries are trading with each other. You rather you money go to the Arabs, Europeans and Chinese and not fellow Africans? Guys this level of self-hate needs to end. Literally everyone else hates Black People!

@Markosonke1 White people are not flooding our streets competing with our kids elocation for schools and not running spaza shops, competing with umama for that domestic work. Why fix it if it's not broken

🚨 BIG DEBATE
When Ngizwe and Jacinta say they’re fighting "illegal Foreigners" … why does it always seem to target one particular skin colour? 🤔
If the issue is truly about legality, documentation, and law enforcement, then it should apply to everyone equally, not selectively based on appearance or assumptions.
Because being "ILLEGAL" is a legal status, not a skin tone.
So what are we really addressing here… immigration control, or something deeper that we’re not saying out loud? 👀

@Am_Blujay We don't stay with white illegal immigrants, those who live with them they can start their movement.
Sfiso is more than welcome to lead that movement.
