Dear TP, thank you for your post, and please accept my apologies for inserting myself into the discussion. I do so because I wish to learn from your insights, while also hoping that I might contribute something of value to our exchanges.

My current understanding is that neoliberalism dismantles local industries through deregulation, privatization, and the transfer of national assets to foreign capital. This process often generates economic displacement, erodes livelihoods, and compels vulnerable populations into precarious migration patterns. I welcome correction if this interpretation is inaccurate.

Several scholars have drawn connections between neoliberal practices and migration, as well as the exploitation of undocumented migrants for profit. For example, Raúl Delgado Wise (2015) highlights how neoliberal globalization reshapes labour and migration; Matteo Capasso (2021) examines how human smuggling and state capture reinforce neoliberal governance in North Africa; and Sarah Hupp Williamson (2022) explores how neoliberal economic policy intensifies human trafficking in the era of global migration.

From this perspective, illegal immigration should not be regarded as an isolated phenomenon but rather as a symptom of the broader neoliberal order. When citizens demand accountability on illegal immigration, their concerns extend beyond border enforcement. They are resisting a system that enables external actors to treat their nation as a marketplace while leaving citizens exposed to vulnerability. In this sense, confronting illegal immigration is inseparable from confronting neoliberalism itself, since both undermine sovereignty, weaken social cohesion, and entrench inequality.

Thank you once again for engaging with my post and once more sincere apologies for inserting myself on your discussion. 🇿🇦🙏🏽

Native South Africans, both educated and uneducated, defeated and overthrew the apartheid regime.

They did not flee in their millions to neighboring countries; they stayed and fought, sacrificing their lives for freedom.

With that same spirit, we can continue to fight systemic racism, economic inequality, landlessness, the influx of legal and illegal immigrants, and other critical issues affecting our nation.

Neither can Africa, so let’s stay home and ensure the survival of our own lands?

I don't understand what the point of the PIC is if it doesn't invest into anything worthwhile towards fixing the issues we currently have

[Finance & economics @Ndala_Momane]

SAns are not serious people nje.

The PIC can literally investment in anything unimportant to society but we ask for Europe pension funds to invest in our electricity, water, rail, ports.....

We deserve Cyril and his zombies.

You want them to admit that they failed? 😂

ANC still cannot understand that problem is not essentially immigration, it's their system of government which overlooks majority for their own interest of a "Black elite" to replace the former apartheid system.

Nobody wants a grandiose "elite" whether Black or White , their policy on immigration is informed by profiteering not Pan Africanism.

Why would anyone pay R4000 to a woman with two children in Lesotho with own basic needs in South Africa?

A living wage is NOT a crime even for foreign migrants

Someone who works in local goverment recently told me that the law doesn't allow municipalities to strike down settlements after 48 hour, only only while it is being built or is still fresh. They require a court order after the 48hr period, but NGO's fight those in court 🙃🙃

I can never understand how an illegal informal settlement next to an illegal mining operation is left to just exist leading to hard crime and instead of deporting the people and burning down the mkhukhus, ud rather keep dealing with more crime which is committed by illegal and undocumented people

Sizwe do not misconstrue comments by Dr Lehohla, he does highlight the issue of illegal immigrants drawing upon basic cost of living along the large population which he states as "Big Business"

March on March is a civil protest not an economic one, it's centrally organised on bad governance not technical issues of the budget and economic outputs

There's a difference between policy/regulation and what is actually happening...that's the outcry

[Nolwazi Tusini @NolwAzi_Tusini]

😤South Africans ARE prioritised. This is why there is a critical skills list and also a labour market test, points based system and regulatory check before a foreign national can get a work visa. All those processes are there to prioritise South Africans. Amanga. Kanti ninjani?

[Null @Vhoyde]

Y'all use policy and theory to argue against what is actually happening lol

Kuwait's🇰🇼 new labor rules shut out workers from Nigeria🇳🇬, Kenya🇰🇪 and 22 other African countries

Kuwait🇰🇼 has introduced sweeping new restrictions on the recruitment of domestic workers, effectively shutting out applicants from Nigeria🇳🇬, Kenya🇰🇪 and 22 other African countries, as well as two Asian nations, under a revised labour policy tightening access to one of the Gulf’s key employment corridors.

The revised policy permits recruitment only from a limited list of countries, such as South Africa🇿🇦, Eritrea🇪🇷, Ethiopia🇪🇹 among others.

The ban affects major African labour-sending countries such as Nigeria🇳🇬, Kenya🇰🇪, Uganda🇺🇬, Rwanda🇷🇼, Mali🇲🇱, Cameroon🇨🇲, the DRC🇨🇩 among others

[sandile swana @sandileswana]

Our minister of Home Affairs must be very careful of destroying profitable businesses with a populist rush of labour inspections that do not take national economic interest into consideration.

They're saying Xenophobia is Necessary. I agree.

If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.

Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.
