South Africans are deeply frustrated and with good reason about illegal immigration and the pressure it places on already scarce opportunities.
But the real crisis is not the immigrants themselves. The root cause is our failure, over the past fifteen years, to deliver inclusive economic growth that creates enough jobs, dignity and hope for our own people.
This failure has been driven by three systemic issues we can no longer ignore:
• A collapse in the rule of law that has enabled corruption, criminality, land invasions, illegal migration, and the brazen theft of electricity and water.
• Bureaucracy and red tape that continue to strangle enterprise, deter investment and kill job creation.
• Incompetent and, in too many cases, corrupt leadership in key positions across government, state-owned enterprises and parts of the private sector.
As leaders, we must have the courage to look in the mirror and ask a difficult but necessary question: How have we allowed these conditions to take root and persist?
This question is not about blame. It is about responsibility and that is precisely why it is empowering. It places the power to change things back where it belongs: with us. We are not helpless. We are not victims of forces beyond our control. By focusing on what lies within our sphere of influence our decisions, our standards, our willingness to confront uncomfortable truths and act decisively, we can begin to reverse the damage we have helped create.
The time for self-criticism and honest reflection is now. The time for excuses has long passed. South Africa’s future will be determined by leaders who are prepared to own their part in the mess and do the hard, disciplined work required to fix it.
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.
The aim of this bill is to reduce the pay disparity that exists between white and black workers. The DA is trying to stop this bill from being passed, just as they opposed the increase of the minimum wage. The DA is an enemy of the black working class. Vote responsibly.
The POLICE told us in secret that they are not allowed to enter China Mall to do any raids or arrest anyone because they instantly get a call from some top politicians to stay away from it, no matter the crime‼️‼️🚮🚮
Beautiful South Africans 🇿🇦, don’t fold. This is your home. We have no intentions of becoming refugees anywhere. We must continue to mobilize on all fronts until we get a government that will do what is in the interests of South African citizens. This government isn’t for us.
Ntate David was living in an informal settlement and had to cycle to work because those people he called his employers paid him peanuts. Being on the road on a bike to work led to him losing his life. Not only does poverty rob you of dignity but it robs you of life itself.
Exxaro Resources is aware of a circulating video depicting the recent assault of a security guard in East London.
One of the alleged suspects in the video has been identified as an employee of one of our contractors, Baagi Technology.
Exxaro Resources does not tolerate any behaviour that is contrary to our values, and the alleged suspect's access to our company has been immediately revoked. In line with our code of conduct, Baagi Technology is attending to this matter with the urgency it deserves.
This is unprecendted: Social media detectives busting criminals in South Africa. First the cellphone snatcher, then the guys who beat up a security guard and now hopefully the men who robbed and beat up an elderly man in Bloemfontein. Video footage evidence of criminal acts is impossible to refute! Well done South Africans!
Pushing Boundaries for the last time today @HopeAlive_Radio coming up at 20:15 we speak to @Princymthombeni Co-founder of South Africans for Constitutional reform about the White Paper as released by @HomeAffairsSA , what is in there? At 20:30 we bring Forum for South Africa leader Tebogo Mashilompane as they condemn the Presidency for not releasing the Madlanga commission report. Then at 21:00 we talk about Shamila Batohi and her mess in that Nkabinde enquiry. How on earth did she get that job? Let’s go💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Something else is happening on Andrew Chauke’s commission. Shamila Batohi is fumbling and absolutely disastrous. If you think Mashaze was bad. Shamila makes her look like a saint. She signed sworn statements/ affidavits without reading them. The honorable judge reminded her that she is still under oath. Despite of all known misconduct of Andrew Chauke he is going to walk out scot free.
@khustazm Thank you for acknowledging the hard work our members put in, sometimes it’s a “thankless job” however we have no time to take off; we have enough members to continue to put the safety of every road user as job number one. 1️⃣

I don't understand South Africans who live in South Africa but want South Africa to fail and are gleeful about our challenges, problems, and mistakes? What is your endgame?
USA 🇺🇸 is a funny country I tell you. 🤣🤣🤣. Our Caucasians ain’t coming, why would you leave paradise and go become a 3rd class citizen in a country with tornadoes, hurricanes, Blizzards, children shooters etc. Hell no!!! No I wouldn’t. We don’t have all these things here. All afrikaners are gone, they were 47 of them you took them, apparently they want to come back. We don’t want them either. Give the offer to Zimbabweans or Nigerians.
