Because Xhosa communities tend to be more accepting or tolerant of queer people so more Xhosa people come out. I'm not saying Xhosa people aren't homophobic but you're more likely to have safer time in the Eastern Cape as a queer person than in the KZN.

This is similar to the conversation around why so many Xhosa women were part of politics and feminist studies in history.

So some Nigerians told Tyla to cancel her show because they will harm her if she comes… She cancelled her show there, and now they are upset? Please balance me. How do you threaten someone’s safety and then get upset that they did what you asked?

[uTamnci! @linamandla_Nts]

Tyla uvuthiwe!

Accidentally heard one song at the gym, and boom, the album is on my gym playlist.

@DamieDarling So cyberbullying only works when it comes to an artist that you losers envy and not your useless government? When will you cyberbully Tinubu?

@DanielRegha Nigerians living in South Africa are mute when they know there is no xenophobic attacks smh

[Hashilé 🇸🇳🇲🇱🇳🇬 | Personnage principal @sankurienne]

Sorry but the discourse around Tyla’s identity has exposed something that deserves to be called out: expecting Africans to understand themselves primarily through a Black American racial framework, while refusing to engage with African’s countries’ racial hierarchies and colonial histories, is a form of xenocentrism that has already become xenophobic in this case.

At some point there has to be intellectual curiosity from
BA. Black Americans are not the only Black people with histories of racialisation, colonialism or oppression. South Africa’s racial classifications for example emerged from a distinct colonial and apartheid system with its own categories, meanings and consequences. Those histories cannot simply be overwritten by an American understanding of race, simply because Tyla wants to market herself to the BA audience. It doesn’t work like that.

Tyla did not invent South Africa’s racial hierarchy any more than Black Americans invented Jim Crow or the one-drop rule. Both are products of white supremacy, but they developed differently in different places. Expecting her to reject the identity that was historically imposed, negotiated and understood within her own country simply to satisfy an American racial framework is insane.

People understand that it is her mother who stole someone's identity, not her. You're applying a blanket approach to the Chidimma case. According to papers in court:
07 Aug 2024, Home Affairs announces that her birth reg was done by means of ID theft. The ID belonged to Sara Moyo. Further investigation confirms that her birth registration contravened the Births reg act

Following the discovery of her illegal status, she left SA to take up her Nigerian citizenship.
The department reaches out to her, even via WhatsApp, about its intention to nullify the SA documents (fraudulent docs). She failed to make a representation (window to regularise)
She was placed on the Visa-restricted list.
While she was out of the country, her mother gets arrested. Chidimma's child is then taken by social workers.
Surprisingly, she entered the country (she has an SA passport) on 09 June, and she was arrested. The court makes an error and postpones her case.
