The EFF has consistently maintained that all foreign nationals in South Africa must be documented. Those who oppose this position often shout the loudest without offering any understanding of how documentation can help resolve our immigration challenges.
Currently, in eThekwini, more than 5,000 Malawian nationals are being documented to facilitate their voluntary return to Malawi.
Documentation is not a threat, it is part of the solution to effective migration management, legal compliance, and the protection of human rights.
The EFF rejects both undocumented migration and xenophobic vigilantism. The solution lies in proper documentation and lawful processes to determine the legal status of individuals within our borders.
Hysteria and mob justice will never take South Africa forward.
I would have understood march for marchs position if the people they were harassing were government heads, home affairs officers, manufacturers, business owners and boarder control. You are attacking the wrong people.
This is the excuse you guys give for being Xenophobic .
Is this man not a legal immigrant?
He was clearly trying to show you his passport.
You just hate on your fellow black man and it has nothing to do with illegal immigrants!!
Kenya hosts millions of them from South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and even Nigeria yet we don't go about beating them on the streets.
One time I was scared of South Africans was the time two passengers strangled an Uber driver to d£ath.
I read comments from them, they said the guy was a student and should not even be working, hence, his d£ath was justified.
Those guys are disgusting and one of the most despicable people on earth.
If we kicked out every foreign national in South Africa we would still be landless whilst the white majority thrive and monopolise our land, natural resources and all sectors of our economy. The problem is poverty, racial inequality and unemployment not foreign nationals.
Yesterday’s FIFA World Cup Opening showed what this handful of hateful Ntelezi idiots have done for South Africa’s international reputation and decades of goodwill.
All the genuine outrage against illegal immigration has drowned under their violent acts, human rights violations and threats while they run around the country barefoot telling us they are “men”
Decades of goodwill built on international solidarity, opposition to Israeli genocide in Palestine, cooperation with other nations, gone to dust.
Football is a global language where even politics find expression, and these jokes about how SA at the World Cup is in a “rush to go home and defend their jobs and women” or how “They can’t attack Mexico because they are not African and Black” - this is not only banter, it’s political satire
It shows how the world view is shifting towards viewing South Africa as a hub of hate, something that has never been part of our identity. I mean we are being compared to Argentina and Morocco, who have committed human rights atrocities against Africans respectively.
The State should take responsibility for allowing hate groups which stop children at clinics, schools, beat people and in some instances incite murder, to define our international identity. It’s not a joke, and we cannot banter our way out of it. It’s a stain.
South Africa being regarded as the hate capital of Africa at a FIFA World Cup would have been unimaginable in 2010.
Israel is smiling wherever it is, because its mission accomplished. We have lost our moral authority on the global stage.
If you could afford to live where u like, work where u like, take ur children to any school and afford to enjoy a family dinner at ur favourite restaurant would you care that a Zimbabwean is ur waiter?
No African is illegal in Africa. If you believe that an African can be illegal in Africa then you are not a revolutionary. We must reject the notion of an illegal foreigner. Africans can be undocumented but they cannot be illegal.
Commentator 1: “Why aren’t the South African players attacking?”
Commenatator2: “it’s because the Mexicans are white, they only attack when they see black people”
