@ajeezayGH Which specialized skills Sare nyela

One uncomfortable conversation Black South Africans 🇿🇦 keep avoiding: Many of the Africans who move to South Africa 🇿🇦 arrive with a trade, profession, business, or specialized skill. Yet some of the loudest anti-migrant voices act as if every foreign African is a burden on the economy. If migrants were contributing nothing, why are they competing with them in the first place?” 🤔🇿🇦🌍

@THEOCTOPUS_1 So he wants to bring 290 illegal foreigners back

Now they’re begging us to come back😂

@Sinawo_Thambo March and March doesn't need votes mos

We will never associate with this in the name of votes and popularity. Count us out of inhumanity.

@AdvoBarryRoux Who cares

Who’s funding Jacinta Zinhle MaNgobese Zuma & March & March?

@Zwelinzima1 Mxm no one listen to you

The Politics of Fear Anyone listening to this gentleman without a critical mind can easily be driven into fear and anger, concluding that South Africa is on the verge of being taken over by foreign nationals. Much of the anger we are seeing today is fuelled by exactly this kind of misinformation. One confession though: Phakela Umthakathi is an extremely articulate and persuasive narrator - calm, confident and emotionally convincing. History has always produced figures capable of turning fear and frustration into compelling political messages that collapse under scrutiny. Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels is widely associated with the warning: “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” Whether exact or paraphrased, the lesson remains relevant. Why Facts Matter That is why facts, critical thinking and political education matter. The evidence completely undermines the claim that South Africa has anything close to 30 million migrants. According to Stats SA’s Census 2022, South Africa had approximately 2.4 million immigrants, representing about 3.9% of the population. Later Stats SA estimates place the figure just above 3 million, while the World Bank estimates around 2.6 million. No credible institution — not Stats SA, the IEC, the UN or the World Bank — has produced figures remotely close to 30 million migrants. In fact, 30 million migrants would mean migrants make up almost half of South Africa’s entire population of roughly 63 million people. Such a demographic reality would be impossible to hide and would overwhelmingly reflect in every school, clinic, workplace, settlement, municipality, census and election statistic in the country. The Election Numbers Now compare this with actual IEC election figures. Since the first democratic elections in 1994, total votes cast nationally have never reached 20 million: • 1994: approximately 19.7 million votes cast
• 1999: approximately 16.2 million
• 2004: approximately 15.9 million
• 2009: approximately 17.9 million
• 2014: approximately 18.4 million
• 2019: approximately 17.7 million
• 2024: approximately 16.3 million valid votes cast nationally The ANC itself dropped from around 10 million votes in 2019 to 6.46 million in 2024 after losing millions of supporters. Even basic mathematics does not support the hysteria being spread online. How Misinformation Spreads This is how misinformation spreads in the age of TikTok and social media: emotional slogans travel faster than facts, and anger spreads faster than evidence. Watch how official statistics from Stats SA and the IEC are dismissed because they interfere with fear and emotion. Watch how presenting verified data invites attacks from social media trolls. The Real Crisis South Africa faces real crises — unemployment, poverty, inequality, crime, corruption and collapsing public services. None of these problems will be solved through conspiracy theories and fabricated statistics designed to turn poor people against one another. A lie repeated thousands of times on TikTok does not become the truth.

@Sentletse So its no l9nger Jancinta Ai yah neh Jokes keeps exposing themselves

EFF leader Julius Malema has called for a visa-free movement across the continent, saying Africans should be able to move freely in a united and borderless Africa.

@BenAkuffoDarko @dumisaninan So your people are running away from their independence and be illegal in a foreign country

@dumisaninan We don't have Orania in our shit hole country 🤗. You wouldn't know what true Independence means if it slaps you in the face 🤗

If someone is living in your country illegally. It is not your role to go and oust the person or attack them. You have officials who are tasked to get them out. Go after your government to charge the immigration service to do their job. Even animals do not behave like this.

@Sentletse This one will never be a President of this country He van continues to President over that stokvel

At the Africa Day event this morning, the CIC spokek on afrophobia.

@Zwelinzima1 Thye protecting illegal foreigners by anymeans

@Sentletse So you giving fools attention Look at yourself

These fools have a problem with documented foreign nationals. Their stupid campaign was never about illegal immigration.

@nyavorx We don't even care, tell your other illegal brothers, Sisters and their children to leave our country

My mother is from Ghana, and my father is from South Africa. However, I would rather remain in Ghana due to the xenophobic and savage actions of the South Africans. Adina Thembi, singer 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
