If South African laws are no longer regulatory but rather suggestions, they should let us know. It’s the constitution you gave us that said illegal immigration is unlawful.

Being South African on Twitter is a fulltime job. The moment you open your eyes, you're already on national duty, defending the country against allegations, stereotypes, & random attacks from people who've never been here. Kubi! 🇿🇦😂

You sit wherever you are in Zambia, tweeting about our history as if you lived it. You lecture us about apartheid what we endured, how we fought, who helped us. You reduce our struggle to a "cartoon version" of history. But you were not there. You did not bleed. You did not bury. You did not fight.

Let me educate you🤔Yes, we acknowledge the support of frontline states. Yes, sanctions and international pressure mattered. Yes, the global anti-apartheid movement played a role. But do not diminish the sacrifices of our people. Do not erase the children of Soweto, the martyrs of Sharpeville, the soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the mothers who marched, the fathers who disappeared. Apartheid was not defeated by speeches in London or resolutions in New York alone. It was defeated because we refused to surrender. Because we fought on the streets, in the courts, in the prisons, and in our own hearts.

You speak of "cartoon history," yet you reduce our suffering to a script. You mock Sarafina!, a film that captured the spirit of our youth, the fire of our resistance. You call it poor education. But let me ask you, where were you when we were dying? Where were you when we were protesting? Where were you when we were voting for the first time?

If African people ever decided to protest face their own government if they ever choose to march against corruption, to demand accountability, to overthrow the thieves who have stolen what is rightfully theirs, South Africans will support them. We would stand with them. We would amplify their voices. Because we know what it means to fight. We know what it costs. But for as long as you don’t see your hypocrisy and dishonesty, African will remain where it is. That is not South Africa’s problem.

But until then, do not teach us about our history. You have not earned that right. You have not paid that price. Stay in Zambia and do what you people do in Zambia.

[Musa Ronalds @MusaaRonalds]

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.

But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.

We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.

You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.

The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.

THE FAMOUS ID APPLICATION HOSTAGE THAT HAPPENED LIVE ON RADIO @Yfm @djsbu 👇🏿
Kabelo Thibedi is a man remembered for his dramatic hostage taking at a government office to obtain his long delayed identity document.
On the 30 November 2005 the 21 year old walked into the Department of Home Affairs regional offices in central Johannesburg and held a female staff member Lanelle Small, hostage inside an office for around six hours. Armed only with a toy gun, Thibedi demanded the immediate issuance and delivery of his ID book. His extreme action stemmed from years of deep frustration ,he had waited more than 2 years, submitted 9 unsuccessful applications, and had already lost a job because he lacked the required document.
The standoff captured national attention. Radio stations across the country received calls from listeners who expressed strong sympathy for his battle against bureaucratic inefficiency. While barricaded in the office, Thibedi called in the popular youth station YFM and spoke live with DJ Sbu, who suddenly found himself acting as an on air negotiator, trying to calm the young man and warn him of the potential consequences. The broadcast dramatically heightened public awareness, drawing thousands of supportive reactions.
To end the crisis Home Affairs officials arranged for Thibedi’s completed ID book to be flown by helicopter from Pretoria to Johannesburg. Once it was handed over, police used stun grenades to storm the room and arrest him. In 2006, he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to five years in prison.
He later appealed the sentence. In October 2009, the South Gauteng High Court backdated it, allowing him to avoid serving time in actual jail.
