No matter how long you stay abroad, you will always be a guest in someone else's country. The fight for Africa's future must be won at home against corruption, division, and leaders who enrich themselves while their people suffer.
Because our government would rather spend time defending a genocide that doesn’t exist than stand up and challenge the constant labeling of South Africans as xenophobic. Every country enforces its borders and immigration laws but somehow only South Africans are expected to stay silent about it.
People who choose to migrate to another country should be willing and able to respect its laws, values and the safety of others. When someone commits a horrific violent crime it damages trust and makes integration much harder for everyone. No society should have to tolerate individuals who pose a serious threat to public safety.
I always say some people needs to prove that they can uphold the standards of the country they want to visit or migrate to
@Dzungie007 If you’re in South Africa illegally and still choose to remain after being given every opportunity to leave or regularise your status then a lifetime ban is justified. Laws mean nothing if there are no consequences for repeatedly breaking them.
It’s not as simple as saying people were “brainwashed.” For decades most Black South Africans were deliberately excluded from owning land, businesses, capital and quality education under apartheid. Even today access to funding, networks, markets and business support remains a major barrier.
A lot of people chase jobs because starting a business requires capital, skills, customers and a stable economy, things many don’t have access to. Add high unemployment, crime and people naturally choose the security of a paycheck over the risk of entrepreneurship.
You can’t build widespread business ownership without access to capital, skills and opportunities.
Africa, it's time to fight for Africa. Return home and hold your governments accountable. Corruption is the gateway through which our resources are exploited and our people remain poor.
Let’s play a game: Ramaphosa Address Bingo.

Did I miss any of the classics?😂
@_BellaM_@EmmjayDblessed You literally summed up his speech writer in one post. Watch him make it sound like South Africa is some rogue nation while ordinary citizens are just demanding that laws be enforced.
@WesternPulse88 If this is true, then killing your own parents for money is a different level of cold-heartedness. Is the white community even talking about this? Because organizing the murder of the people who raised you shows a complete lack of conscience.
One would say, “let’s build our own,” but sadly I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon. We’re just not built like that. Those people are disciplined, they invest in their kids’ future, they support their schools and they make sure sport and culture are part of everyday life. They don’t just talk about building strong communities they actually do it. That’s the difference, they walk the talk.
