When she asked, “Why aren’t South Africans fighting against white foreigners as well?” I was genuinely annoyed because it completely misses the point.
White South Africans or foreigners generally aren’t competing with illegal migrants for limited public resources. Most don’t live in townships or informal settlements where the pressure on public clinics, schools and low skilled jobs is felt most. Poor black South Africans do.
That’s why this issue is experienced differently. It’s not about race. It’s about who is directly affected by the competition for already stretched public resources.
People who live side by side with illegal migrants and rely on the same public services are naturally going to have different concerns from those who don’t. Their experiences deserve to be acknowledged, not reduced to accusations of xenophobia. I don’t know why she and everyone including the government and politicians don’t get it. I’m not directly affected by illegal immigrants but I can’t dismiss the lived experiences of people who are affected by them.
Do this kind of content as an African. You will not receive the kind of reception this 3 are receiving. We have Pope Sibiya, who does similar content. She has never been invited by state officials nor given free accommodation or escorts.

Poverty (that lady who killed her kids and herself because she had no food), unemployment, nsfas, corruption, broken justice system, loadshedding (mainly those newborns who were put in boxes because incubators weren’t working)
Crime rates, gbv, those graves cupcake dug during covid, petrol prices, those kids that cross rivers to get to school, extremely high taxes, utter lack of service delivery, that R500b, wealth inequality, poor infrastructure
eyi kuningi.
@DaniXolani @mbucanenonjabul @Ltd_Pty_ They have an European system that allows them to identify everyone, if you do a crime in another country, with your fingerprints you can be identified.. if Africa can sort out such things then yeah, I’m up for it.
