Not sure I’ve seen Dr Aaron Motsoaledi this...worked up before:
Other countries, other countries don’t accept rascals. We are the only country that accepts rascals. Even the United Nations is angry with us. When we become strict, people call it xenophobia.
Even the United Nations is angry that South Africa has got a tendency, because of something called democracy, to accept all the rascals of the world. When people do wrong things in their country, they run here.
What do you say about that guy from Czechoslovakia called Radovan Krejcir? He ran all the way from Czechoslovakia to come and do nonsense here. Now the United Nations is looking for one guy from Rwanda. He has been given refugee status in South Africa. In Rwanda, he threw a hand grenade into a bus full of women and children and he ran to South Africa and welcomed him and said refugee.
And we must keep on keeping quiet, for the scare of the word xenophobia. This must change. We can no longer allow our country to be a stomping ground for all the radicals and all the lowlifes of the world running here and saying they are using our democracy.
African countries are blaming South Africa for their own nationals being illegally there instead of blaming themselves for the conditions that made them run.
We have a massive accountability problem on our continent, Africans.
