@msotras_finest They hv figured him out that he is weak, do u think they would snub the US, i don't think so

This is what happens when you posture yourself a certain way at the expense of your citizens

@daddyhope We don't have president in Mzansi, we have known that for a while now, we have lost respect even from the tiniest of nations, the guy is a business first and foremost and would go to any incredible lengths to secure his business interests all over Africa & side hustles as Pres.

As we celebrate and reflect on Africa Day today, it is important to qualify the intervention by South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola. What he says is correct, the issue of immigration in South Africa is indeed a crisis, and instead of focusing on peripheral issues, attention should be directed at the root causes, the push factors driving African migrants from countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique into South Africa, both legally and illegally. The fact of the matter is that we all know what the problem is: misgovernance. And the African National Congress, which has governed South Africa since 1994, is fully aware of this reality. Yet it has continued politically supporting the regimes in the region that have contributed to creating this crisis inside South Africa itself. We all know that ZANUPF rigs elections. We all know that it presides over a deeply corrupt system. We also know that some within the ANC benefit politically and materially from relationships with ZANUPF. So while Minister Lamola’s comments sound correct in principle, many people across the region have become sceptical because statements are repeatedly made, yet very little changes in practice. As we saw during the recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) foreign ministers’ meeting held in South Africa, Zimbabwe’s Foreign Minister, Dr Amon Murwira, was effectively in denial, insisting there is no immigration crisis affecting Southern Africa or South Africa. As long as leaders continue issuing statements without confronting the underlying governance failures driving migration, this crisis will persist. This is fundamentally a crisis of failed leadership. That is why other parts of Africa, and indeed other regions of the world, often look at Southern Africa with disbelief. We know what the problem is, and we know what needs to be done, yet we refuse to act. Worse still, regional leaders continue defending and embracing the very political systems that are producing the collapse, namely ZANUPF in Zimbabwe and FRELIMO in Mozambique, even after disputed elections, corruption scandals, and institutional decay. It is not rocket science why Zimbabweans cross into South Africa to seek medical treatment. It is not rocket science why a significant number of women giving birth at Musina Hospital are Zimbabwean. It is because Zimbabwe’s public healthcare system has collapsed under corruption and decades of misgovernance. Zimbabwe’s largest public hospital still relies on a single maternity theatre built in 1977. The country’s public health sector has, for years, lacked a functioning radiotherapy cancer treatment machine for the entire nation. Under such conditions, desperate citizens will inevitably cross borders, legally and illegally, in search of survival and dignity. Tragically, it is ordinary poor Africans who now become pawns in political battles. Politicians exploit immigration to whip up emotions and win votes, while many of those same political actors continue protecting, legitimising, and enabling the governance failures that created the migration crisis in the first place. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) issued a scathing report on Zimbabwe’s 2023 election. Yet the first president to go and celebrate that disputed victory was South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. It therefore does not make sense for South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, to correctly speak about the root causes of the immigration crisis while his own government continues supporting and legitimising the very systems creating those root causes. After the SADC report was released, the Secretary-General of the African National Congress openly declared “Viva Mnangagwa.” That kind of duplicitous behaviour does not build confidence among citizens in South Africa or across Southern Africa.

@Oliver_Speaking I guess this is a thinly veiled finger pointing at Zulus, Mr Dickson had better explain because the marches are all over Mzansi, are all these provinces Zulus @oliver_speaking

And this right here is the problem with Xenophobia. It’s rooted in tribal chauvinism to the point where xenophobes can’t tell the difference between a South African and a foreign national. Chrispin is very clearly a South African, but that doesn’t matter to a tribal chauvinist

@MmusiMaimane Mfundisi the danger is having leaders who hv no idea what goes on, on the ground, do u really think ppl just decided that they are gonna take it to the streets for fun, it's been long time coming because our leaders didn't listen wen citizens say it's untenable.

Do you see how it goes. Now they are attacking South Africans, who they think are not “South African enough”. The other day they were attacking a South African journalist who someone decided did not look South African enough - Velani Ludidi. This is extremely dangerous.

@_CarlMoney Africa o Africa who bewitched you, why would u hv a guy who can barely walk for age, as a president.

Tinubu should rest and come to Ghana to enjoy light. Instead of chasing power.

@MmusiMaimane Kodwa Mfundisi, hai!!!

Liberation movements have destroyed Africa. They have betrayed the promise they made to the people. They have become a cabal of criminality, corruption and cronyism. The enemy of South Africa is Emmerson Mnangagwa and not Kudzai the uber driver. The enemy of South Africa is Yoweri Museveni and not Kizito the barber. The enemy of South Africa is the NRM, FRELIMO, Zanu PF and not Fiona the desperate and impoverished african woman who fled these corrupt and violent regimes in Africa and is now cleaning toilets in our homes as a domestic worker. Let’s talk about the real enemy of South Africa. The real reason we have an immigration crisis. Let’s dial direct. The reason why we have immigration at these unmanageable levels is because these leaders, Museveni, Mnangagwa and Chapo have destroyed their home nations and beat up their citizens. Unfortunately they have received support and fellowship from the ANC. This must stop. Today I gave an important speech at the constitutional hill on how we address the immigration challenges we are facing in South Africa. You can read my Africa Day speech below…

@zoomafrika1 Drugs, scams, prostitution

What comes to your mind when you think of this country, Nigeria

@PeterObi Basically u never told them to stop life of crime, prostitution, drugging our youths, 419 scam or whatever the number, ailIdon't think u stayed long enough to interact with SAns about the behavior of your ppl in foreign lands, it's time for introspection

My final engagement in South Africa was yesterday in Johannesburg with my interaction with Nigerians in the diaspora. The discussions were frank, emotional, and deeply reflective of the realities confronting our people both at home and abroad. The conversation was interrupted several times by passionate questions bordering on diplomacy, the treatment of Nigerians in foreign countries, the political situation back home, and the growing desire of many young Nigerians abroad to return home and contribute meaningfully to nation-building, if only the environment becomes conducive. I also reminded our people that the respect any citizen receives abroad is often tied to how respected their nation is at home. A country that works, protects its institutions, upholds justice, and cares for its people naturally commands global respect. This is why leadership and governance must remain people-oriented, accountable, and rooted in competence and integrity. While acknowledging the frustrations and pains many expressed, I emphasized the need for all of us to continue to conduct ourselves within the ambit of the law, irrespective of the provocation or difficulties we face. Nation-building demands discipline, civic responsibility, and the willingness to pursue change through constructive engagement. The interaction further reinforced my belief that Nigerians across the world remain hopeful about the future of our nation despite the present challenges. Our task as leaders is to inspire that hope with sincerity, measurable action, and a commitment to building a secure, productive, and inclusive Nigeria. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@MMmuhavi @SABCNews Then we are different Africans, we knw of one nation that only one thing to sell drugs and our youths are being systematically eliminated and displaced and we can't stand that no more just because we want to be accepted into the fold, never!!!

@SABCNews All African countries have undocumented immigrants. Why does South Africa always think they are special? We have thousands of Nigerians, Burundians, Congolese, Somalians and Sudanese in Kenya. We do not go about harassing them

AFRICA DAY | Minister Gayton McKenzie says there can be no African unity if countries do not take responsibility for their own citizens. He adds that African unity must not be based only in South Africa.

@_NanaMensah @SABCNews I thought Nigeria and Ghana would be the 1st ones to understand this because they have had this between themselves, it's ok to have a visitor but when they keep visiting or never leave then they are no longer welcome, I thought Africans would understand that.

@ghanaboynie @gha

The reason why SAns fear having leaders with foreign lineage is because of this situation here. They never say anything about the highest unemployment in the world, but the moment we say put SAns first, we start hearing their voices.

If this is not abuse then somebody tell me what it is @GHNationalist57 @gha

@LadyAbahambe She runs her mouth a bit and dragging his majesty Zulu king just to support her argument with was wrong

Describe this minister in one word

@Mphothegreatest We are in this mess because @MYANC don't use their brains, this guy has deep allegiance and bias for Malawi and he is correct to do that, he is Malawian and proud one at that yet he occupies such a strategic position, we mameh

How does a Malawian speak on behalf of South Africans in SA🤔? This is pure ethnic cleansing. We will soon have Nigerians, Somalis, Ethiopians & Pakistanis running our government if we continue listening to stupid leaders like Malema, Madonsela, Mbeki, Mmusi & Vavi🚮🚮

@ghanaboynie @gha

@Judaeda3 Well @MYANC has no issues, bring some firewood bro

Thank you for making South Africans aware that Harare Zimbabwe is not a refugees camp. You can’t t bring fire 🔥 and cook in the middle of the city.

@tshepimoche The people we must live with for the sake of united Africa of Thabo Mbeki and the@JacintaNgobese

VIDEO | Kruger National Park spokesperson Reynold Thakhuli says preliminary investigation have confirmed that the bakkie belonging to the murdered couple, exited the country through the Mozambican fence. #SABCNews

@QhayiyaN @tshepimoche @Chrispin_JPhiri If they are such a vital cog why are they not fixing own countries because we have seen nothing but destructions and ppl like this might hv evidence about Bushiri escape.

@tshepimoche @Chrispin_JPhiri how? They are illegal, homeless, committing crime, killing activists& children and taking low income jobs from SAns as they accept below minimum wage....how do they grow the economy when they are breaking the laws?

VIDEO | DIRCO spokesperson Crispin Phiri says migrants play a key role in growing the country’s economy. #SABCNews

@Nino_Gaggi_ @tshepimoche @Chrispin_JPhiri So Chrispin is conflicted because he can't speak against his illegal relatives, then he can't be Dirco spokesperson, perhaps he should have declared his bias in favor of Malawi. The logic here doesn't hold in a country with such high levels of unemployment benefiting Malawians.

@tshepimoche @Chrispin_JPhiri which SA economy is growing when over 60% of SA youth are unemployed, and corporate SA is by-passing your ANC Labour Laws by employing foreigners. Why must SA poor be burdened with sharing limited resources and social services with illegal foreigners. Tsek!!
