@GryllusMaximus@NMbedzi57109@ErnstRoets Nonsense! You regurgitating garbage! Go back and learn South African history! Black South Africans have been in this land for centuries, and hence they are natives to this land because they have been here for millions of years! SMH!
South Africa is starting to feel like a country being quietly stripped apart in broad daylight — not by chaos on the streets, but by polished hands in boardrooms and offices where accountability never seems to arrive.
Every week brings a new wave of allegations, scandals, missing money, and “investigations” that go nowhere. Yet the pattern never changes. The looting continues like it’s built into the system itself.
At what point does enough become enough?
How much more must disappear before someone is actually held responsible — not just spoken about, not just investigated, but held accountable in a real, visible, undeniable way?
Every department that handles public money, especially in Gauteng — including education — needs real scrutiny, not surface-level reviews and forgotten reports.
Because when public funds vanish, it’s not just numbers on paper. It’s classrooms without resources, communities left behind, and a future being quietly stolen in pieces.
This isn’t normal. It shouldn’t be accepted. And it definitely shouldn’t be repeated year after year like it’s part of the system.
South Africa first. 🇿🇦
@FaraiMazhindu People also forget that white people had a Head- Start generally in life, where economic prospects for their future endeavours have already been paved for their race economic success! Why do you think slavery was founded on Mercantilism which ensured Capitalism thrived for them!
@FaraiMazhindu BEE Act are constitutional economic policies meant to address and redress past economic injustices as enshrined into the South African Constitutional Preamble! We will Never be apologetic for addressing injustices of our past! Your western apologetic rhetoric has no place in SA!
@michelle_mystiq UBuntu has been suspended in South Africa currently until further notice- while we are busy Fixing our Country!
UnApologetically South African. 🇿🇦
@AkinwonDiadem@sholard_mancity You Never qualified! Big difference between Afrikan countries and South Africa- a blessed and prosperous state! Now eat that Mumu!
The amount of foreign infiltration in this country is actually insane… this economy you guys have been promised, you will never get because they are sharing it amongst themselves and giving it to their foreign friends while asking you to vote for them to give you a better life and that’s R350 and poor service delivery!! 🚮🚮 but the problem is March and March 🤡🤡
@ThePromiseCFC @LukhanyoGantsho@JacintaNgobese Defending one's country is not Afrophobia nor Xenophobic! It's called Patriotism, love of one's Country 🇿🇦
Afrikan people should try it back into their home country and hold their leaders accountable, i bet things will be far better in our Afrikan continent, than what it is!
@DanielMakeda1@HouseofCairo@Mpinzana6@LCabonena Die like chickens? This is laughable by any rational individual in South Africa who truly knows what is happening! Every SA citizens is affected by crime, recently white farmers have been experiencing high criminal activities, some dying, being robbed & etcetera! Spewing nonsense
@MonrayB26225 @unordinaryjo@JacintaNgobese@JustXavierB This is unacceptable though broe! Establishing Police Forum or Committee's in a foreign country, literally undermines the juristic sovereignty of that particular country and this case our sovereignty is in question! This is wrong in all aspects, i do Not condone such Nonsense!
@EOdileke@LCabonena You mean the Giants of Afrika, who owns drug businesses, drug cartels, who do human trafficking business, racketeering, bribery, extortion and eating dogs! Nigeria $hit-hole of Afrika! Mumu!
IT’S NOT XENOPHOBIA, IT’S NO LEADERSHIP — A MOZAMBICAN PERSPECTIVE
_By Solomon Mondlane
Swati Newsweek 08 May, 2026
I am writing as a Mozambican who has lived, studied, and worked in three countries: Mozambique, Swaziland, and South Africa. I did both my primary and secondary education in Swaziland as a foreigner from Mozambique. Because of that lived experience, I reject the easy label that South Africans are xenophobic.
_When leadership is absent, people step in — and it turns chaotic_
What we see in South Africa today is not xenophobia. It is what happens in any country when there is a vacuum of leadership. When the state fails to secure borders, regulate immigration, police crime, and communicate clearly, ordinary citizens step in to “solve” the problem themselves. The result is almost always disorder, violence, and scapegoating. That is failed governance, not national hatred.
_If South Africa is xenophobic, then the whole of Africa is_
I know this because I lived it in Swaziland as a young Mozambican. We were subjected to ugly name-calling. Once every month, law enforcement targeted undocumented Mozambicans for harassment. People were forcefully removed from their rented apartments, loaded into police trucks like firewood, and deported. Some Mozambicans were recruited to work in sugarcane fields by citizens. At the end of the month, those same employers would call law enforcement. The workers were arrested and deported without their salaries.
Refugee camps were created for both South Africans and Mozambicans, but in separate communities. The state decided who belonged where.
But because Swazis were doing it, nobody called it xenophobia. There were no global headlines about “Swazi xenophobia.” It was treated as immigration enforcement.
_Mozambique is doing the same_
In Mozambique, foreigners coming to visit are subjected to roadblocks — or what President Venâncio Mondlane once described as “slavery toll gates.” Law enforcement demands bribes everywhere a foreigner goes within the country. By the time they arrive at their destination, they are left with nothing.
Those who settle in Mozambique face another trap. They are invited into business partnerships, and when they have invested, they are insulted, falsely accused — mainly as terrorists — by citizens, and then deported. What do you call that? Just because it is done by Mozambicans, is it not xenophobia?
_The double standard_
The difference is not the behavior. The difference is South Africa’s size, media visibility, and economic pull. Millions migrate to South Africa because it works better than home. When tensions flare there, cameras are present. When the same, or worse, happens in smaller states, the world stays silent.
_South Africa needs leadership, not labels_
South Africans need to be engaged by their government. That means the government should start leading from outside the walls of Parliament. Secure the borders. Deal with illegal immigration like other African countries are doing. It is their sovereign right.
In reality, South Africa has been the most lenient country on the continent. It has absorbed millions. What we are witnessing now is not hatred of foreigners. It is the outcome of years without clear policy, without enforcement, and without honest conversations with citizens.
Call it what it is: a lack of leadership. When the state abandons its job, the street takes over. And the street has no training, no law, and no accountability.
If we are honest, the same behavior we condemn in South Africa exists across Africa. The cure is not shaming South Africans. The cure is leadership — in Pretoria, in Maputo, in Mbabane, and across the AU.

@tebogokhaas That's why they are quick to hide behind the SANDF because they lack solutions and they don't think ordinary citizens deserve their attention.
@AfricaisBlack Pan- Afrikanism starts home! No Revolution can be discovered in a foreign land, that seeks to inspire revolutionary insight externally, but yet Failed into their Domestic Countries, that is Not a Revolution, that is Cowardice disguised as Revolution! Charity begins at home!
