🚨THEY LIED TO US... PART 2 🧵

We were told that immigrants are taking South Africans' jobs.

Now, Standard Bank CEO Sim Tshabalala - himself a product of South Africa's BBBEE era, argues that the evidence doesn't support that claim.

According to Tshabalala, migrants don't steal jobs or drive down wages. Instead, they create demand for goods and services, which in turn supports employment and economic activity.

Immigrants create employment opportunities. He also pointed out that Standard Bank operates in 20 African countries, with roughly 40% of its earnings coming from outside South Africa.

Whether you agree or disagree with his view, it adds another perspective to a debate that's often driven more by emotion than economics.

What do you think, is he right, or is he out of touch with what ordinary South Africans experience? 🇿🇦

Translation by King Jay . #SoulShackRadio

"With the current situation facing Zimbabweans in South Africa, where some are fleeing xenophobic attacks and returning home, let this serve as a lesson for the future.

Prioritise your own family and your own well-being first.

Don't neglect your wife, husband or children while trying to rescue every relative back home. Some of the very people you sacrificed for are now laughing behind your back, asking, "So where is he going to stay? Whose house is he coming to? Ten years in Johannesburg and he's coming home with nothing."

They quickly forget the years you spent sending money for school fees, medical bills, groceries and countless other family emergencies. Today, when you need compassion the most, some have already forgotten your sacrifices.

Help others where you can, but never at the expense of your own family or your own future.
That's the lesson."

I stand to benefit PERSONALLY from CAB 3. By all selfish calculations, I should support it. Some have whispered, "Take the opportunity while it is there." But leadership is not measured by what benefits us; it is measured by what benefits the people. When I asked myself, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE? I found every reason to OPPOSE it.

Some men still live in rental houses because everyone depends on them at home. Most can't even afford cars because their salaries feed and educate so many people. Some are still single because they can't answer the question " which car do you drive" .

Today we celebrate all men who wake up daily so their parents, siblings and children are well taken care of. God bless you gents. You might be failures to some with high expectations on the streets but you are the heroes in your families and that is what matters the most.
May you never lack...Be blessed 🙏

As we bravely wage war against illegal immigrants, may we not forget Constantia, Bishopscourt, Parklands, and the like. There’s more than illegal immigration hiding there, so those are excellent places to start.

My hope is that EVERYONE is treated as a suspect because an illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant, whether they come from Burundi, Cambodia or France, and whether they live in shacks or mansions….as long as they are here illegally, then zonke bonke….one side👉🏾

Being poor, black or African CANNOT be the “obvious clue” that someone is here illegally. If really, the plan is to treat skin colour, class or accent as “symptoms” of illegality, then we should at least have the courage to admit that our issue is not illegal immigration…..sixabene nje nobumnyama.

Izingane zikaJan van Riebeeck ziyakwazi ukuvota la, noma ziphethe amaPassport aseYurope, kodwa lokho akusihluphi neze! But when it comes to izingane zikaMzilikazi, asifuni ukuzwa ngisho iphunga lazo, we immediately assume illegality and demand papers🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s not yet Uhuru, but we have hope.

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.

@VusiThembekwayo I've watched the video. At its best, it's quite profound, but it carries a noticeable bias. It seems to suggest that most crime, community decline, and pollution are primarily caused by migrants, which isn't supported by the broader reality. While Vusi's message about respecting

Celebrating mediocrity is not positivity it’s the height of negativity. Yours is regressive positively, you encourage the country to celebrate stupidity and it’s left behind while others progress.

Is Dr Ndlozi the only former EFF leader who left the party and still stand by the same views and ideologies he stood for as a Fighter? He's such a principled man.

My neighbor knocked on my door at 11pm once.

Her power went out. She said she just needed to charge her phone for a few minutes.

I let her in. Made tea. We talked until almost 1am.

Two weeks later she came again.
Different problem. Same door. Same welcome.

I never made her feel like she was disturbing me.

Months later my car broke down three streets away. I called her.

The moment she picked up, I could already hear irritation in her voice.

She said she was tired. Then asked, can’t you call someone else? I said okay and hung up.

But I just stood there beside my car holding my phone for a few seconds.

Not angry. Not even hurt. Just confused. Because I started thinking about all the late-night knocks I had answered without hesitation.

Not because I expected repayment. But because I genuinely believed that was how we treated each other. Turns out it was just how I treated her.

That’s the dangerous thing about one sided kindness.

While you’re giving, it never feels one sided. It feels like love, like loyalty, like being a good person.

The realization only comes later. Usually in the exact moment you finally needed them back.

Have you ever realized someone only valued your kindness when it benefited them? What made you finally notice? And how did you handle it?
