"The evil politicians are waiting for you to do something stupid ..; so they can come out as heroes."
JayTee Motaung Thebehadi just dropped a truth bomb.
He's saying:
30 June
Greedy politicians and the media are hoping South Africans will turn violent.
The moment we act like hooligans, we become the villains ..; and they become heroes.
He's right
We have every right to be angry. Every right to march. Every right to demand deportation.
But the moment we burn a shop, loot a truck, or attack an innocent person .; we lose. The narrative flips. And the same politicians who created this crisis will point at us and say, "See? Vigilantes. Xenophobes. Barbarians."
That is their plan.
Let be smart.
Elections are coming. That is where we fight. With our votes. With our voices. With our unity.
Don't give them the satisfaction. Don't be the fall guy.
Stay disciplined. Stay focused. And save the soul of South Africa.
This corruption is not an isolated incident -it has become deeply entrenched in certain policing and law enforcement environments, particularly in parts of Johannesburg.
Allegations of officers extorting money from foreign nationals, undocumented migrants, street traders and vulnerable communities continue to surface with alarming regularity.
Areas such as Diepsloot, Johannesburg CBD, and Hillbrow are repeatedly mentioned in complaints involving bribery, intimidation and unlawful confiscation of goods or cash.
Many victims are often too afraid to open cases because they fear deportation, harassment or retaliation.
That silence allows corrupt officials and criminal syndicates to continue operating unchecked.
The reality is that corruption at street level destroys public trust in the police and undermines legitimate crime-fighting efforts.
Communities already battling violent crime, drugs, hijackings and illegal firearms are left vulnerable when some officers abuse their authority for personal gain instead of protecting residents.
The key question is: why do the same hotspots keep appearing in corruption allegations year after year without visible long-term intervention?
How many honest officers are being undermined by corrupt colleagues?
And how many victims -particularly foreigners and undocumented individuals are suffering in silence because they believe nobody will protect them if they speak out?

WATCH: this took place near Diepsloot, JHB.
@Cyamthanda_@AfricaFirsts@GaytonMcK That usually happens when someone has no counterargument. If you disagree, explain why having a globally recognized South African superfan at one of the most-watched sporting events in the world has no value for tourism, branding, or national visibility.🙄
@Cyamthanda_@AfricaFirsts@GaytonMcK You asked what the importance was, and I explained it. Instead of explaining why I'm wrong, you've moved straight to insults.
I said this: Julius Malema wants to be President of South Africa, but he doesn’t listen to South Africans, not even once. How can you lead people you ain’t listening to??
@JoyChauke5 The greatest robbery in south African sports. Mama joy deserved to be with all the selected to go to the world cup. This is personal 🤞
And maybe gayton McKenzie didn't have the final say🤔
You all can hate Mama Joy as much as you want, but facts are facts. She is the fan face of Bafana Bafana, the heartbeat in the stands, and the energy that represents South African football culture on the biggest stages.
She’s arguably the most recognizable sports superfan in the world of football ..; from local stadiums to global tournaments, her presence stands out instantly.
Love her or not, she has become part of the identity of the game in Mzansi. Passion like hers is rare, and it can’t be ignored or erased.
At some point, we have to separate personal opinions from undeniable impact.
@visse_ss@GaytonMcK is not a leader. He makes decisions based on what people on Twitter want to hear instead of what is best for the country.
But then, I don't expect an ex-convict to understand why having Mama Joy at the World Cup is important for South Africa's image and tourism.
@Cyamthanda_@FemmeDePriere@AfricaFirsts Not everything is about playing football. The World Cup is also about culture, identity, and representation. Mama Joy is one of South Africa's most recognizable sports supporters. Having her there helps put South African fan culture on display before a global audience. 🇿🇦
@Cyamthanda_@AfricaFirsts Whether you like her or not, she's one of South Africa's most recognizable sports supporters. If anything, @GaytonMcK should be begging her to attend, not the other way around.
@Cyamthanda_@AfricaFirsts You hate before you understand. The World Cup opener will be watched by Billions worldwide. Mama Joy's colorful South African identity could spark curiosity about our country and culture. That's exactly the kind of exposure tourism boards spend millions trying to create.
@madenigeria001@EmmyYice@AfricaFactsZone Skilled gold craftsmanship like that doesn’t come from chaos or “no organisation”. It requires training, coordination, and specialised labour. At this point is either you're stupid , or you’re just ignoring archaeology to force a narrative that doesn’t hold up.
@madenigeria001@EmmyYice@AfricaFactsZone Make it make sense. A ‘primitive unorganised’ society producing the Mapungubwe golden rhino?🤔 That alone already collapses your argument.
@madenigeria001@EmmyYice@AfricaFactsZone You’re repeating a claim that’s already been disproven. Southern Africa had organised states long before Europeans, Mapungubwe, Great Zimbabwe, Mutapa, Rozvi, Tswana and others, with governance structures and trade networks linked to the Indian Ocean and Asia.
