Wishing you a productive and drama free day! Let God into your life. A day full of laughter and fulfillment in whatever it is that you do, topped off with a win for BAFANA BAFANA ❤️
As someone who grew up in Venda, I can tell you that during the first wave of migration from Zimbabwe around 2004-2005, many Zimbabweans came into our communities. Many walked long distances to reach the villages in Venda, and all they asked for was shelter and food.
We welcomed them and offered support. Many lived with us in our communities without any animosity for a long time. However, due to changing economic and political dynamics, the situation has evolved to some extent.
Most of these migrants were young, barely between the ages of 15 and 20. They didn’t come as traders or businesspeople; they fled because of the dire economic conditions back home. We still live with them today in our villages in Venda and struggle together while building our lives.
It's disheartening to see someone, likely a privileged middle-class Zimbabwean, spreading negativity online that can damage the relationships between working-class people and Zimbabwean migrants. This individual is criticizing the very same people who have shown solidarity with Zimbabweans in times of dire need, and we continue to do so, even during difficult times for everyone.
While we may not have all our land back, we welcomed Zimbabweans into our villages during their time of great need and have lived with them in harmony.
Please do not listen to gaslighters or misleading narratives.I have attached a link from a long post I did on Facebook about growing up in venda with Zimbabweans. I called it "Sungura Stories, Sorghum Beer, and Police Brutality."
