Mr Herman Mashaba, we see you. 🤞🏽🇿🇦
Your support for South Africans during this defining moment has not gone unnoticed.
When the time is right, your commitment and courage will be remembered and appreciated.
❤️🇿🇦
@NolwaziNkomo5 They will ask us and we will vote for them,this is a democratic country..
You are the one who is stupid because most South Africans don’t support that nonsense
Liam Jacobs says that during Sports, Arts and Culture Portfolio Committee meetings, he observed allegations that people are being placed into positions through political connections rather than proper legal and merit-based processes.
Indeed, you are correct, my brother.
Deporting undocumented migrants using South African taxpayers’ money is, by itself, a futile exercise if the conditions that enabled their entry remain unchanged. As I said in my previous post, undocumented migrants do not simply materialise inside South Africa.
They cross the border with the assistance of corrupt South Africans. They are facilitated by corrupt border officials, members of law enforcement, criminal syndicates and others who profit from illegal crossings.
Until that corruption is decisively dealt with, deportation becomes nothing more than a revolving door. You deport people today, and tomorrow many of them are back through the very same borders from which they were removed, assisted by the very same corrupt networks.
That is why slogans alone will never solve this problem. If you fail to address the root cause, you merely create an expensive cycle that benefits corrupt officials and human smugglers.
The second issue that people need to understand is the political context. Jacob Zuma’s hostility towards Cyril Ramaphosa is undeniable. His political project depends on weakening Ramaphosa and the ANC wherever possible. The anti-immigration wave has become one of the vehicles through which that political objective is pursued, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal, where electoral control of municipalities such as eThekwini is strategically important. The immigration debate is therefore not occurring in a political vacuum, it has become intertwined with power struggles and electoral calculations.
The third issue is the international dimension. South Africa’s decision to take Israel before the International Court of Justice fundamentally altered its relationship with the Israeli government. It is no secret that Israel regards South Africa as one of the principal states leading international legal action against it. Against that backdrop, there are allegations and claims that organisations involved in South Africa’s anti-immigration campaigns have received external support.
What is beyond dispute, however, is that instability and internal division weaken South Africa’s international standing and serve the interests of those who would prefer to see the country distracted by domestic conflict.
Criminal elements inevitably infiltrate highly emotional movements. Ordinary supporters may genuinely believe they are defending their country, but organised criminals exploit the situation to loot businesses, intimidate communities, extort money and fuel violence.
The consequences extend far beyond immigration. South Africa suffers economically, investor confidence declines, diplomatic relations become strained, and the Minister of International Relations is left managing unnecessary diplomatic crises.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that South Africa is increasingly being caricatured internationally as a xenophobic or Afrophobic nation. That characterisation is unfair. The overwhelming majority of South Africans are not xenophobic.
What the world is seeing is the conduct of a relatively small but highly vocal minority whose actions are amplified by sections of the media, creating the false impression that they represent the entire country. History has repeatedly shown the danger of allowing inflammatory narratives to dominate public discourse. Serious challenges require serious leadership, evidence-based policy and the rule of law, not slogans, vigilantism or political opportunism.
You are an advocate, apparently, and we expect, at minimum, you know that enforcement of the Immigration Act is not the responsibility of hooligans you support.
Illegal immigrants demonstrated lawlessness for the past 30 years,
Saps , Immigration officers etc are failing in executing their duty. Why blame South Africans for demanding Government to implement the Immigration Act?
