@Madsan88 @talkcentss Lie! Immigrants are monopolising the spaces they enter in the informal economy together with mafia type protection against South Africans occupying those spaces that curtailing informal growth in comparison to other developing nations. growthlab.hks.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…

@talkcentss And who is behind that growth? Immigrants. The key question would be: If all immigrants who run informal tuck shops were to get chased away, would the South African citizen step in & be able to produce the same results? If not, why? Why couldn't they do it b4 foreigners came?

Yesterday, Leon Shreiber, Minister of Home Affairs, failed to give information on how many members of parliament have dual citizenship🚮 Yesterday, Siviwe Gwarube, Minister of Education, failed to give information on how many illegal aliens are in public schools in Western Cape🚮 Disgusting. Highly incompetent. Unpatriotic. Useless. They are a danger to our democracy.

@akiluno_a Well done Uganda 👏

في حادثة لافتة حدثت في أوغندا، قررت وزيرة الصحة "سارة" أن تقوم بخطوة جريئة لكشف الفساد داخل أحد المستشفيات الحكومية. فقامت بالتنكر في زي امرأة منقبة حتى لا يتعرف عليها أحد، وتوجهت إلى أحد المستشفيات العامة بهدف إجراء فحص بسيط لمستوى السكر في الدم. عند وصولها إلى قسم الاستقبال، طلب منها الموظفون دفع رشوة مالية مقابل إجراء الفحص، على الرغم من أن هذه الخدمات الصحية يجب أن تُقدَّم مجانًا للمواطنين، بحسب القوانين المعمول بها في المستشفيات الحكومية. وحينما رفضت الوزيرة، مؤكدّة أن العلاج في هذه المرافق من المفترض أن يكون بلا مقابل، رفض الموظفون تقديم أي خدمة لها، وتعاملوا معها بجفاء واستهتار. في تلك اللحظة، كشفت الوزيرة عن هويتها الحقيقية، لتُفاجئ الجميع بأنها ليست مجرد مريضة، بل وزيرة الصحة نفسها. وعلى الفور، أصدرت أوامرها باعتقال جميع المتورطين في الواقعة، من موظفين وأطباء، لبدء تحقيق رسمي في قضايا الفساد والإهمال داخل القطاع الصحي. تعد هذه الحادثة مثالًا صارخًا على الفساد الإداري، ولكنها في الوقت نفسه تُظهر حرص بعض المسؤولين النزيهين على التحقق بأنفسهم من واقع الخدمات التي تُقدم للمواطنين. ________

Mini bylaw enforcement at a Midrand establishment. Three illegal foreigners arrested. An hour later, two foreigners are back, playing pool. They said they were taken to the station, cops asked for R1K. They didn't have it. Only R250 paid after they were driven to ATM.

@Bronx_wrangler @ChimCham7 @sherwiebp Are they saying SA is not doing enough due diligence & enforce importing from disreputable sources engaged in slave labour? If yes, are any industries or examples cited & if that’s not what it means then please correct what I’m misunderstanding here?

Maybe read the actual report before commenting. Why do you support forced labour (slaves)? 48. South Africa: Findings of Investigation In sections III.A.7 and III.B.7, USTR found that South Africa has failed to impose and effectively enforce a forced labor import prohibition. In section IV, we found that the failure to impose and effectively enforce a forced labor import prohibition is unreasonable. In section V, we found that the failure to impose and effectively enforce a forced labor import prohibition burdens or restricts U.S. commerce. Some comments suggest that South Africa’s existing labor laws, anti-trafficking laws, and customs laws provide a legal framework for South Africa to prohibit the importation of goods produced with forced labor.212 A legal framework that could provide a basis for a forced labor import prohibition, however, is distinct from a measure that forbids legally the importation of goods produced with forced labor.

The United States Office of the Trade Representative has PROPOSED new tariffs for 60 economies, including South Africa, related to what it describes as the failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor - calling it unreasonable and that it burdens or restricts U.S. commerce, and are thus actionable under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act. From their statement: "For economies that impose a forced labor import prohibition, that have committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or economies that have imposed a partial regime with the effect of preventing the importation of certain forced labor goods, the U.S. Trade Representative proposes 10% as the rate of additional duties.   For all other economies, the U.S. Trade Representative proposes 12.5% as the rate of additional duty."

Shock in Bloemfontein, Free State as thousands of illegal foreigners enter the city. Apparently they are running away from Kwazulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Western Cape Provinces.

You can't defend these people

You're delusional if you actually believe this. If you honestly think a Narco-State like Mexico would accurately report it's crime statistics, when politicians are literally backed by drug cartels, then I have an ocean in J'oburg to sell you.
