@ntsikimazwai Funny how people have been predicting doom for Black South Africans for decades, yet we’re still here, still building, still progressing. The real nightmare is underestimating people who have survived and overcome far worse.
@RonaldRikhotso1@SABCNews SABC is supposed to cover issues that affect South Africans. Whether you agree with Jacinta or not, she has become part of a major national debate, so media coverage comes with that.
@matigary@CyrilRamaphosa Or more sarcastic:
A Zimbabwean calling out South African leadership is like a passenger on the Titanic criticizing another ship’s navigation. Focus on getting your own house in order first. 😅
Calling for sanctions on South Africa while benefiting from South Africa’s economy is quite a contradiction. Every country has the right to enforce its immigration laws. Respecting borders and the rule of law is not xenophobia. If South Africa is such an apartheid and xenophobic country, why are millions of Africans still choosing to come here instead of countries that claim to be more welcoming?
@yabbanx If South Africans are so lazy, why do people from across Africa keep coming here to study, work, invest, and do business? It’s possible to celebrate the success of Nigerians and Ghanaians without insulting millions of South Africans.
If 80% of South Africans supposedly have the reading ability of a Grade 4 pupil, it’s remarkable that South Africa still manages to produce internationally recognized scientists, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, authors, and professionals who contribute across the world. Broad insults make for easy tweets, but they don’t make for serious analysis.
@kgoatlapa@Sthembile1993@F_Edzeamey When your argument requires comparing an entire population to a gorilla, you’ve already run out of facts. South Africa has plenty of problems, but reducing millions of diverse people to an IQ score says more about your bias than it does about South Africans.
@kgoatlapa@Prince_Luyd@F_Edzeamey The irony is that you’re using highly disputed IQ claims to make sweeping judgments about an entire nation of over 60 million people. That’s not intelligence; that’s prejudice dressed up as statistics.
@MrJamesKe Freedom of movement, investment, and legal migration work both ways. South Africans living and doing business across Africa are expected to respect the laws of their host countries, just as foreigners in South Africa are expected to respect South African laws.
@dranthoniaeddo@thenanaaba Calling people “delusional” doesn’t strengthen your argument. A truly educated person debates facts, not stereotypes about an entire country. If education produced this level of arrogance and generalization, then perhaps your country should review its curriculum too.
Calling South Africans lazy while benefiting from opportunities in South Africa is not the compliment some people think it is. South Africans built this country, maintain its institutions, and have every right to expect their interests to be respected. Appreciating immigrants should never require insulting citizens.
😂 The entitlement is impressive. 😂 So your support comes with conditions now? South Africans don’t need to apologize for enforcing their country’s laws. Every sovereign nation has the right to manage immigration and protect its borders. Support your team, don’t support them. it’s your choice. Football isn’t a hostage negotiation.
