Waiting for you to explain why the unemployment rate for white people is only 8% when they study at the same institutions, write the same exams and obtain the same qualifications and there at least 3 times as many black graduates as white ones. Its structural, not talent.
South Africans stated illegal immigrants should exit South Africa by June 30th. That should have been the end of it, because illegal immigrants are not supposed to even be in their country. So why is the entire continent making this bigger than it is?
I reject the derogatory term “amakwerekwere” completely. It is a slur used to insult fellow black Africans simply for being from another country. If loving and respecting other black Africans makes me a “kwerekwere”, then I am proudly one and I will never apologise for that.
I am against illegal immigration and have said so clearly and consistently. South Africa has every right to secure its borders and enforce its laws. But I will not support xenophobic hatred or the dehumanisation of innocent people who are here legally simply because they are black Africans from other countries.
Discrimination based on nationality or skin colour is wrong. We must deal firmly with illegality not turn fellow Africans into enemies. South Africa’s problems will not be solved by attacking people who look like us.
Let’s focus on the real issues: rule of law, border control, and building a better country for all South Africans without descending into tribalism or xenophobia.
Enough with the slurs.
