There are over 20,000 Ugandan people staying in South Africa illegally.
The distance between Uganda and South Africa is roughly 2,500 miles. To reach South Africa illegally, a person must bypass at least four international borders.
If over 20,000 people are making that trek, imagine the sheer scale of migration from South Africa's immediate neighbors, who only have to cross a river or jump a fence.
The African obsession with South Africa has become deeply exploitative. We are seeing South Africa being treated as a universal safety valve for the governance failures of the rest of the continent. It is an unfair burden on a single nation's infrastructure and taxpayers.
The dream of a Borderless Africa sounds noble in a boardroom, but in reality, it would be the final blow to the few working economies left. You cannot have open borders when economic disparity is this vast. It doesn't create unity, rather, it imports poverty and collapses systems.
We are currently witnessing a massive immigration crisis that threatens South African schools, hospitals, and social stability.
Before we talk about visa-free travel, we must discuss economic convergence. Other nations must become livable so their citizens aren't forced to flee.
South Africa cannot be the refuge of last resort for 1.4 billion people. Protecting South African borders isn't anti-African, it is an act of national survival.
Until the continent stabilizes, the romantic idea of a borderless Africa remains a recipe for total collapse.

Feels like ANC knows 2029 is the final curtain 😭cos the way things are moving… they’ll be lucky to even touch 10%
So what’s the plan? Make sure all comrades eat eat eat before the lights go off...
Now suddenly everyone is being recycled back into positions… all who were implicated in Zondo, now again names popping up around Madlanga…
Suddenly they are free, just reassigned and continue 😭
It’s no longer governance, it’s a closing sale… "everything must go before 2029"
South Africa watching like… is this leadership or last-minute looting of opportunities? 🤧

🇿🇦On Patrice Motsepe and why you have blackouts or loadshedding ‼️
Patrice Motsepe is Ramaphosa’s brother in law.
In 2009 Patrice Motsepe said electricity was too cheap and that was preventing independent power producers from entering the South African market.
16 Years later electricity has gone up by over 600% and Motsepe owns over 50% of the independent power stations.

In 2013, a 3-year-old boy fell down a 49ft well in Romania. Firefighters spent 11 hours trying to get him out but couldn’t. They said it was too narrow and he couldn’t be rescued.
Then a 14-year-old seventh grader, who had just gotten home from school, volunteered to go down. They tied ropes around his waist, lowered him into the well, and he came back up with the little boy.
