@MusaaRonalds When you ask tourists coming to South Africa were they from none of them will tell you from Europe
They will answer:
From Sweden
From Netherlands
From France
From Italy
From Germany
And so on
None of them will say I am from Europe I am a European
"An African cannot be illegal in Africa." That is the slogan of the deluded. That is the anthem of the entitled. That is the cry of those who refuse to accept that a continent of 54 sovereign nations has borders and those borders mean something.
A neighbour is not family. A neighbour is a neighbour. You can be kind to a neighbour. You can help a neighbour. But a neighbour does not have the right to walk into your home, eat your food, sleep in your bed, and tell you how to live simply because they share a street with you. That is not love. That is invasion.
Being African does not give you the right to cross any border you choose. It does not give you the right to bypass immigration laws. It does not give you the right to ignore the sovereignty of other nations. Every country has the right to decide who enters, who stays, and who contributes. That is not xenophobia. That is statehood.
If you believe that being African grants you automatic access to any African country, then you are not a Pan-Africanist you are a colonialist in reverse. You are demanding the same open borders that colonisers demanded when they carved up our continent. You are treating Africa as one big village with no rules, no boundaries, no accountability.
But Africa is not a village. It is a continent of nations each with its own laws, its own people, its own struggles. And we will not be shamed into abandoning our sovereignty just because someone shares our skin colour or our continent.
A neighbour is a neighbour. A citizen is a citizen. And no amount of rhetoric will change that. If you want to be family, act like family. Respect our home. Respect our rules. Respect our laws. Until then, you are just a guest and guests can be asked to leave. That is not hate. That is reality. And we will not apologise for it.
Dear Acting Minister @Prof_Cachalia
R600 million can repatriate thousands of illegal foreign nationals. Instead, it appears govt would rather spend taxpayers' money on force than on enforcing the law.
Why is SAPS choosing force than serving the people and upholding the law?
He calls South Africans foolish and lazy yet South Africa has invested over R24 billion in Nigeria, while Nigerian investment in South Africa is negligible. He flies Air Peace into South Africa, makes money from our passengers, and then insults us. He talks about boycotting South Africa but his airline lands here. He talks about stopping investment but he has invested nothing here. His own country has invested nothing here. South Africa built MTN Nigeria, MultiChoice Nigeria, Shoprite Nigeria billions in investment, thousands of jobs, millions in taxes paid to the Nigerian government. And now he calls us lazy? He calls us foolish? The hypocrisy.
Let me educate Allen Onyema. South African companies have been the backbone of Nigeria's telecommunications, retail, and entertainment sectors. MTN Nigeria alone employs over 1,000 people and contributes billions to your economy. MultiChoice brought DStv to Nigeria, creating an entire entertainment industry. Shoprite opened supermarkets that employed thousands. We invested. We built. We contributed. And now you reward us with insults? You reward us with boycotts? You reward us with xenophobic rhetoric?
Allen Onyema says we blame Nigerians for our woes. No, Allen we blame our leaders for failing to protect our borders. We blame our leaders for failing to enforce our laws. We blame our leaders for allowing illegal immigration to flood our country. But we also blame Nigerians who come here illegally, who undermine our labour laws, who exploit our system, who commit crimes, and then expect us to smile and say "brother." We will not. We are tired. We are angry. And we will not be lectured by a man whose country has given us nothing but empty promises and exploitation.
If Allen Onyema wants to boycott South Africa, let him. But he should not fly Air Peace here. He should not use our airports. Because if he truly believes we are foolish and lazy, why is his airline here? Why are Nigerians here? Because they know South Africa has what their country lacks opportunity, infrastructure, and a functioning economy.
Allen Onyema, you are not a hero. You are a hypocrite. You are a man who profits from South Africa while insulting South Africans. You are a man who talks about boycott but continues to take our money. You are a man whose country has invested nothing while ours has invested billions. You are a man whose people flee to South Africa while our people do not flee to Nigeria.
South Africans do not need Air Peace. We do not need Nigerian investment. We do not need Nigerian lectures. We need our government to do its job to secure our borders, to protect our people, and to ensure that South Africans come first. If Nigeria wants to boycott us, go ahead. We will not beg. We will not apologise. We will not change.
Allen Onyema, take your plane, with the people of Nigeria and go back to Nigeria. But remember, when you go, you take with you the money South Africa helped you earn. And that is the truth you cannot escape.
Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, says we should boycott South Africa.
He calls South Africans a foolish and lazy people who blame Nigerians for their woes.
And he doesn't want Nigerians to attack South Africans or close down MTN
But to stop investing in their country
South Africa has 26 public universities with nearly one million students while 700 000 students are registered at the more than 50 higher education training colleges (TVET colleges – Technical vocational education training). An additional 90 000 students can be found at various private institutions.
And the Jewish home Affairs Minister thinks we don't have 11,000 high skilled people to work in our institutions....
Stop this disgrace act now..
SOUTH AFRICAN JOBS FOR SOUTH AFRICAN LOCAL PEOPLE
We need to interrogate our stances: whom we love,whom we hate,whom to 'trust'...by weighing these 'feelings' on a truth/fact scale...and also tally the gains (promised or realized). Only then can we truly rise to the post of being a ' great nation'.
I think as South Africans in general,we have come a long way to begin to 'see' ourselves in an honest and maybe glorious way..especially the 'Brown' South Africans. We have not reached the ' peak', but the road ahead seems to make sense.
I believe that a new ' learning' must unfold for us. We need to break away from the second hand 'thoughts' that we unconsciously inherit from media,other people we have decided are 'smart' and even from culture and religion: Let's take the course to learn to THINK for ourselves !
At the bottom of the Zuma hate is white supremacy and blacks who speak good English and think they are superior…..
That’s all.
Nothing deep or well thought out.
#Pedros should just tell their customers that the offer to cut the full chicken into manageable pieces,is actually not to give convinience to them..but to rob them! My 'full' chicken bought at Pedros,Davenport-Durban..came without wings !
Imagine if the 20 Million Employed Black 🖤🇿🇦 South Africans , can UNITE AND BUILD BUSINESS EMPIRES.
Just R100 monthly from every Employed Black Person, towards building our own Malls, Banks, Manufacturing Industries and more.
It's possible.
We need one guy to lead this.
We can have financial independence - we just need to put out minds to it
