The goal of this whole attack is to provoke other African nations into ostracizing South Africa so that the White Minority can properly deal with them.

By the time they realized it, the White Minority would have taken its control of South Africa’s land and financial wealth from 70% to 99%.

These misguided (Black) South African youths who are used for this manufactured xenophobia will still be the ones to suffer it. They have no idea what they are doing to themselves.

Unemployment has so many externalities. One being that there’s a critical number of adults who can be mobilised for anything in SA.

Classrooms in South Africa have become the latest battleground for the anti-immigration group Operation Dudula, with members reportedly attempting to forcibly remove & block children from other African nations from attending classes.

Imagine the trauma this will leave on these kids.

South Africans are tired🤞

[Obino Sure @briansureobino]

What’s going on in South Africa is regrettable. We can’t be our own enemies, beating fellow African just because they came hustling in your country is insane level of xenophobia. I thought South Africa’s main problem is the Whites who took their land illegally, I’m surprised they’re beating fellow Africans in the streets too. Quite embarrassing. What’s up with South Africans? Apartheid must have left them with very bad trauma & possibly mental issues.

South Africans roaming the streets in search of foreigners as if they are chasing animals. A people other Africans including Nigerians fought for during apartheid💔😥

"my gender also" "i am not supporting violence but HMMMM"

The problem is you people think being a "good" woman will save you from the wrath of a man and this system. Thats why you all treat a woman being killed as some kind of gossip fodder. it can happen to any of you WAKE UP

When I Started Respecting Namibia

During my master's program, there were some Namibians attending the same school as I was, though they were enrolled in education programs. Along with students from other African countries, we all belonged to the African Student Association.

For the Namibians, their tuition fees were covered by their government, and they also received a stipend of €1,000 per month. In contrast, those of us from West and East Africa were either self-sponsored or funded through our university scholarships. While we scrimped and saved every cent, juggled part-time jobs, and tried to send money back home to our families, the Namibians were living up the life, traveling, clubbing, and indulging in exotic foods that we simply couldn't afford at that time, as students🤣.

After graduation, the Namibians threw a special party, and they all WILLINGLY returned to Namibia. I mean, every single one who had come for a master's degree went back. There was one woman pursuing her PhD at the time who stayed longer, but she returned immediately after completing her program.

I was close to two of them, so I asked each, separately, why they weren't staying behind to build a life here. Their answers were remarkably similar: "Stay back for what? There's nothing here for us. We can always come for holidays. There's so much more to enjoy in Namibia. We're paid well, and we've been travelling to different countries even before coming here to study." I was shocked. One even laughed at the question and asked why I'd want to stay back in such a cold place.

If you've been following me for a while, you've probably noticed how often I mention wanting to visit Namibia. I really do. I can't wait to go. One of those two friends keeps asking when I'm finally coming to visit.

Being the "African giant" isn't about population size, oh no. We're just clinging to past glories. In our parents' era, some were sponsored abroad by the Nigerian government for studies, and most returned home. These days, how many are even sponsored, and how many actually come back?

Namibians truly love their country, and you won't find them scattered all over the world like us.
