You can chase out thousands of illegal immigrants today, and they’ll be replaced tomorrow by thousands more paying R3,000 at the border to come in.
Yet not a single politician or protester is at the border, the source of the problem. Weird, hey?
I’m not a big fan of Thabo Mbeki but he is quite right. Foreigners represent about 4% of the South African population and whilst they may contribute to unemployment they also contribute to job creation as many of them are skilled and they provide jobs for locals. The main driver of unemployment is government corruption leading to non-investment and BBBEE also leading to non-investment. So if you want a single culprit for unemployment it’s the ANC.
This is a lie.
It has been debunked numerous times, including by Africa Check back in 2019.
And yet GFSA persist with spreading a blatant falsehood, and without providing any source for their claims.
An unserious and untrustworthy organisation.

I have long had a problem with this concept of human rights. If you break the law you forfeit your rights to anything other than a jail cell.
Human rights are the greatest weapon of the immoral against moral people. Allowing governments and criminals to circumvent common law
As a SA sports fan, this should make your blood boil! The Olympic Committee of SA (SASCOC) said they didn’t get any Lottery funding for the 2016 Rio Olympics and they cut the athletes OPEX/training funding and limited the number of athletes that could go to the Games. But just look at this https://t.co/BLnejpeT3h
Then a month before the Rio Games, SASCOC (after crying poverty) got another R70 million from the Lottery. These corrupt officials lied, they stole millions and prioritized self enrichment ahead of the athletes! Who was the Sports Minister at the time - Fikile Mbalula! And these were the same corrupt SASCOC officials who filed a malicious R21.1 defamation lawsuit against me to bully and silence me!
You can’t be in South Africa illegally. If you are here illegally, you must be deported. And you are not an “undocumented immigrant” if you are here illegally—you are an “illegal immigrant” who must be deported soonest. It’s that simple. Let’s not allow demagogues to complicate this. #economy #immigration #politics
MEDIA STATEMENT: Serious questions after Hawks promote Madlanga witness facing criminal investigation
In what appears to be yet another example of the authorities paying lip service to their commitment to rooting out corruption, Hawks Tactical Operations Head Brigadier Lesiba Mokoena, who gave evidence before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, has been promoted despite being under criminal investigation, and despite serious questions raised about his integrity under oath and filed in a case docket. He is accused of making fraudulent entries in a register to unlawfully claim overtime. The alleged conduct was reported by a subordinate 18 months ago, yet the Hawks’ anti-corruption section says the “investigation is continuing and statements must still be obtained”.
The complainant, a warrant officer, approached AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit in November last year after Hawks management failed to investigate and act on the complaint. During his testimony before the Madlanga Commission in October last year, Mokoena was a brigadier, a rank above colonel, which was his rank when the complaint was filed in November 2024.
Advocate Gerrie Nel, head of the Unit, says this failure to act stands in stark contrast to the speed with which action is often taken against people mentioned at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. “Although we criticise the appointment of commissions of inquiry to substitute police investigations, we have noted the sudden apparent efficiency of the SAPS in investigating certain matters
“On this very aspect of investigating your own, we find it extraordinarily peculiar that a simple and uncomplicated allegation of misrepresentation relating to ‘overtime’ by a senior member of SAPS has, since 2024, resulted in your office repeatedly reporting ‘progress’ as part of an ongoing investigation. We must accept that your office has the necessary skills to deal with such matters,” said Nel.
At the Madlanga Commission, Mokoena was accused of playing a significant role in efforts by the Hawks to disrupt the Political Killings Task Team’s arrest of Katiso Molefe on 6 December 2024. The commission criticised him for being evasive and inconsistent about his role in the incident. Meanwhile, since the fraud complaint was filed in November 2024, Hawks management has told the complainant that the matter remains under investigation, prompting the complainant to approach the Private Prosecution Unit in December last year.
Barry Bateman, spokesperson for the unit, says the Hawks’ conduct in the case against Mokoena has exposed selective investigation. “While the Madlanga Commission has prompted public claims of a renewed commitment to accountability within the SAPS, developments behind the scenes suggest this is merely window dressing in response to the embarrassment of the revelations broadcast live almost every day for the past nine months. But what concerns the Private Prosecution Unit is the selective way law enforcement exercises its authority, and how this appears to be swayed by political expediency rather than a genuine commitment to addressing malfeasance within the ranks. This office was established to address selective prosecution and will apply pressure on the Hawks to conclude its investigation so that prosecution can follow if the State does not have the appetite to do so,” said Bateman.
The Unit has asked the Hawks to provide a meaningful response to questions about the status of the investigation and an explanation for the inexplicable delay in finalising the matter.
This week I celebrated another major milestone, my channel turning 10 years old. To celebrate, as I always do with such channel milestones, I read and analyse another one of my favourite essays: 'The disintegration of the South African order' by Professor Koos Malan.

White people in South Africa being threatened with slaughter by someone wearing the shirt of a major political party whose leader is primarily known for chanting “kill the boer (farmer)”.
@GamingGrifter They are scared because they realise they (political parties) are not in control wrt this issue. That's the only reason we are seeing these speeches. Their biggest fear is not being in control.
