@IamTheTozzy @NkululekoMhlaba For years CNN, BBC used to covering the "immigration debates" struggled to get to grips with the SA gvt, elites wanton use of the conclusive term xenophobia. It was the SA gvt that used the X word to as a cudgel to club into line it's citizens

@Thetha946871 @PrimeTimeNewsZA Or maybe it is a matter of the political majority “accepting” it like the “All Lives Matter” accepting police in the US.

@Manikipi Because vibes is easier than action.

@EdS_888 @NdzaviDerrick What is your definition of over staffing and how does it relate to the matter at hand. Also relate to “disguised unemployment”

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@errolbsk Hardly more stupid than the government that puts responsibility on failed asylum seekers to self deport.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@SizweLo This could be said of almost every cadre pre post apartheid. It’s a case of “Blessed Are The Dead”

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@Ratshilumella @blueitserver @pmcafrica @Eskom_SA Actually the question being asked is how much of an investment case is there for investing in consumer electricity supply in SA. There is no stampede to invest in that sector.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@blueitserver @pmcafrica It’s a question of temporality. The question and goal that faced the regimes and industry before 1994 was providing electricity efficiently and a vertically integrated single supplier was deemed the best model. Times, technologies have changed but the goal has not changed.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@blueitserver @pmcafrica It depends on what your understanding of profit is

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@legaleagle841 @Mr_Dark_Choc @PhutiSemenya14 It is perhaps the chilling effect brought about by Mkhwananzi’s unsubstantiated claims against the judiciary that also gave us having more than one property in SA a flight risk

@RediTlhabi The closure of space for immigration debate is what has resulted in the use of “immigrant crimes” as a main grievance.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@RediTlhabi Can the govt vouch how many of the hundreds of thousands if not over a million failed asylum seekers and hundreds of thousands of passport holders who did not officially exit the country self deported.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@News24 I would argue for a country whose President was bugged by Rwanda it was another national security embarrassment.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@AndySkosana @Frank73585928 @IOL @JacintaNgobese Even the govt stats are false

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@naledimashishi Rebut the content instead of insulting. SA is ugly, violent to its own citizens. Then deputy president or President Mbeki once asked in one of his less celebrated speeches, ‘Whatever happened in the evolution of our society’ that has resulted in this propensity for violence.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@naledimashishi This is not the first spring day event and every year the complaints have been there. It is the absurdity of denialism to expect protests about service delivery failures immigration to have a different complexion devoid of often misguided militancy, latent, overt violence

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@naledimashishi It is disingenuous and self serving to bring immigration into something that should long ago have been classed as assault. It also has to do with so called “authentic kasi culture.”

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@naledimashishi To channel De Maistre, not only does SA think it can by lofty claims channel morality but also thinks it can write a constitution that supersedes the real constitution of the country written in the hearts of citizens. SA must look at itself in the mirror.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@AneleLekane @naledimashishi There are incongruences aplenty like expecting a society of militant violent protests and vigilantism to suddenly be “docile” because it is now protesting in furtherance of a cause we disagree with.

[wolfel figaro @WolfelFigaro]

@naledimashishi Or when Ubuntu becomes nothing else but a false moral superiority, a slave morality. I would rather a rights based liberal disposition than the “mythical” Ubuntu.
