Some truths that many South Africans seem to be struggling with:
1. Undocumented immigrants are not going anywhere.
2. Undocumented immigrants provide slave labour that the end of Apartheid got rid of.
3. The SAn govt enables oppressive govts elsewhere by not holding them accountable for their ppl here.
4. Big SAn businesses make a killing on the continent & bring that money to SA, impoverishing those nations.
5. There are no border fences & walls. People simply walk or swim across.
6. The Constitution, NPOs & many politicians protect undocumented immigrants.
7. South Africans prefer buying from & hiring undocumented immigrants, because they are much cheaper & work harder.
8. The difference between economic migrants from other parts of SA and those from the rest of the continent, are colonial borders.
9. South Africans refuse to get rid of the ANC coz they enjoy freebies from govt.
10. Undocumented foreigners don't pay income tax. 90% of South Africans don't pay income tax either.
11. Every single SAn benefits from undocumented foreigners in some way.
12. The only REAL issue we should be tackling is serious crime, which is also committed by South Africans.
13. Black SAns are more invested in chasing away Black foreigners than White & Asian foreigners.
14. South Africa is a British-American company & is governed to serve the wealthy, not the poor.
15. Politicians only care about money, not about you. That's why they'll never do what you ask them, but what will pay them best.
Many South Africans act like children, and are in denial of these truths. They are happy to bash ppl like myself, or others - coz they hate taking accountability for their complicity in the conditions we see here.
In closing: UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
Those who genuinely want to see change must focus on upskilling SAns, helping SAns start businesses, vote differently, focus on serious crimes & build fences around your communities, with an access gate.

@GodPenuel Very correct. The ANC goes to endorse a shambolic, stolen election in neighbouring Zimbabwe, where do you think the people of Zimbabwe will go to?
@edmnangagwa When do you actually sit down and attend to more serious issues that need urgent attention,like, economy, trade, electricity, water, infrastructure etc? Don't you have ministers that can actually attend to commissioning of roads and churches?
@ArtwellMakina@daddyhope If you read my comment then you'll understand the comprehension. At times you have to take a step back to move forward. But I think the 2nd comment put it out clearly why Ukraine is being excluded from the talks
@daddyhope Yes I understand that, this was actually directed at those that are supporting Ukraine blindly. Anyway the war has nothing to do with Ukraine sovereignty and all, that's why it's being excluded from the talks. Kkkkkkk
