A country in which the private security industry is foreign owned, more organised and more resourced than the police and the army and employs foreign nationals mainly is a country at great risk.
Do you understand why Palestine is in the state it's in today? Outsiders arrived as immigrants, settled permanently, took control of the land, and gradually displaced and oppressed the indigenous population. Exactly what we are seeing right now in South Africa.
The pattern is the same. In Palestine, the First Aliyah from 1882–1903 brought an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Jewish immigrants who established agricultural villages with the backing of early Zionist movements. By 1948, over 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their lands and homes in what they call the Nakba. Today, according to UN figures, between 730,000 and 737,000 Israeli settlers live in the occupied Palestinian territories, including roughly 500,000 in the West Bank and around 220,000 in East Jerusalem. The International Court of Justice and the UN Security Council have repeatedly said these settlements are illegal and violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The settler population has expanded dramatically between late 2023 and early 2025, more than 10,300 new housing units were under construction, and the government approved 41,709 settlement units, exceeding the total approved in the six years prior.
In South Africa, the same pattern is unfolding. Foreign nationals are arriving, settling, and establishing themselves in our communities taking over spaza shops, informal businesses, and even RDP housing meant for South Africans. Minister of Human Settlements Thembi Simelane confirmed that there is an "upheaval of complaints" about RDP houses occupied by foreign nationals. The Abahlali baseMjondolo movement has observed that some recipients of RDP houses sell the properties to migrants who would not qualify to get the houses from the state.
The parallel is undeniable. Just as settlers in Palestine arrived, took land, and displaced the indigenous population, foreigners are arriving in South Africa, taking our businesses, occupying our housing, and displacing our people. In Tsakane, there are only six South African-owned spaza shops compared to an estimated 85 Somali-owned spaza shops. In Delft, Cape Town, a major shift in market share has occurred, with ownership now favouring foreign businessmen who use a more sophisticated "entrepreneurial" model based on price competition and collective procurement. The same pattern exists in the water purification sector, where foreign nationals are moving in.
We are not xenophobic. We are awake. We see the pattern. We understand the history. And we will not allow South Africa to become another Palestine where the indigenous population is displaced, marginalised, and eventually erased from their own land. This is not hate. This is self-preservation. This is sovereignty. This is the fight of our lives.
South Africa, wake up. The same forces that displaced Palestinians are at work here. And we must stop it before it is too late. 🇿🇦🇵🇸✊🏾
If you are going to report the news, do it objectively. When the UK protests against immigration, you call it anti-immigration. When Elon Musk and Donald Trump push for border control, you call it policy. When Europe deports illegal immigrants, you call it enforcement. But when South Africa does the same thing peacefully you call it xenophobia. That is not journalism. That is bias. Al Jazeera, I am deeply disappointed in your investigative reporting. You should be covering the real issues, the corruption, the poverty, the dictatorship, and the tribalism that are forcing African people to flee their own countries. But you will not, because that does not fit your narrative. Dubai does not tolerate illegal immigration or crime. Neither should South Africa. This is not propaganda it is sovereignty. And we will not be silenced. 🇿🇦✊🏾
South africa has done more for Africans than most African countries . Name one country that offers free Healthcare and education to everyone despite them being illegal???
Do you understand how crazy it is that South Africans are being judged for wanting foreigners to be in their country LEGALLY? How is this even a conversation???
