This is a false choice.
You can oppose tribalism, xenophobia and vigilantism while also acknowledging that South Africa has a serious illegal immigration problem that requires urgent enforcement.
The rule of law cuts both ways. It prohibits citizens from taking the law into their own hands, but it also requires the state to enforce immigration laws, secure borders, combat document fraud, and remove those who have no lawful right to remain in the country.
Pointing to corruption, unemployment, SAPS failures, or ANC governance failures does not negate the state's immigration obligations. Multiple problems can exist at the same time.
The real question is not whether we choose between law enforcement and humanity. A constitutional state must deliver both.

You guys made it happen… 🤝
It feels like being a second class citizen in your own country, paying for foreigners to loot and murder you, while your rulers call you evil if you complain
Mcebo Dlamini delivered the most accurate State of the Nation Address (SONA) on @podcastwithmacg, in case you guys missed it. The man felt the pulse of the nation and told us the true state of the nation.
No wonder askaris, fake Pan Africanists and many other fake people are angry.
I can listen to Mcebo Dlamini the whole day. He reminds me of the township uncles we grew up listening to. The real freedom fighters who are not millionaires or part of the gravy train.
After receiving a credible drug tip off in Cape Town, I alerted SAPS but 3 hours later I was still waiting and NOTHING…
We are constantly told there are resource constraints, but the fight against drugs and gangs will never be won if reports from communities are dealt with zero sense of urgency.

This video has sparked a vital conversation in Pirara, Tshwane!
While we carry a profound responsibility to uphold and enforce local bylaws, we must never completely shut South Africans out of their own economy. Instead of pushing them away, we need to offer sustainable solutions for the likes of bo Tshepo, ensuring they remain active, valued participants in our township economy.
Tlangi Mogale’s infamous words remind us of a fundamental truth: "you cannot lead them, if you do not truly love them".
Privilege often blinds leaders, making it impossible for them to relate to the raw, everyday struggles of ordinary South Africans.
Xenophobia in Libya… Let’s hear it guys “Africans cannot be foreigners in Africa” We really need the “Africa Unite” gang to call Libyans all kinds of names and call them self-hating etc
Mbuyiseni, South Africans are deeply pro-education. Our parents sacrificed everything for us to learn.
What we reject is how credentials & elite jargon are weaponised to delegitimise our lived experiences. When we speak about illegal immigration, jobs, crime & failing services, we're told we're "not educated enough" & lectured with failed ideologies.
Weaponised PhDs dismissing the daily reality of ordinary citizens won't work anymore. Disagreeing with bad policies isn't anti-education, it's pro-reality.
We want good schools and a country that puts citizens first.
