If you’ve been suspecting that there is a well funded campaign to try and create a narrative that South Africans are a hateful people in order to have us isolated, and that it leads all the way back to our ICJ Case for the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine…here it is.
Look at the hundreds of hateful and mostly ignorant responses to Yusuf’s appointment. The bulk of these are from anonymous accounts from around the world masquerading as South Africans.
For one, South Africa has never had an Islamophobia problem. Nor have we had an anti-semitism problem. Neither have we been a people who claim to be a “Christian” country, even though most of us self-identify as Christian. We have had Muslim Ministers and Deputy Ministers since time immemorial, and all our cultures and faiths co-exist freely.
You would noticed the misinformation campaign by other African governments, led by the Ghanaian Foreign Minister, about the anti-illegal immigration protests. And AfriMAGA? Remember that?
They want to break us apart. RESIST!!!
This chap is South African, he matriculated from the same high school I did in Uitenhage (now Kariega) in the Eastern Cape.
The environment of suspicion, cruelty and hate created by these groups, and the way it is growing into multiple typical forms of Western stereotypes is shocking. I do not have any recollection of SA having an Islamophobic problem.
We are on the brink of US-like Islamophobia, incredible that anyone still thinks that any of this hate is organic considering the US-Israel culture of hatred against the Muslim community and its genocide in the Middle-East.
Homes are being raided to look for foreign nafionals, people are being profiled based on their skin colour, people are being profiled based on their religions. Are we on the brink of a Nazi culture?
We should all condemn the attacks on this individual, whether it’s from Zionists or the idiots who think every 1 in 2 people in SA is a foreign national.
History remembers those who refuse to back down. @brettherron you did just that. 👏🏽
Today's Constitutional Court victory is a win for the people and for affordable housing.
“There are players you watch. And then there are players you feel. From the very first time Relebohile Mofokeng stepped onto a training pitch at Rand Stadium, nobody needed to explain which category he belonged to.”
What a tribute!

Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi: "This is factually incorrect. The Ghanian national who was fatally wounded was attacked at his place of work on Monday (not on protest day), in an incident that the police believe to be extortion related. It is concerning that Ghanian authorities continue to communicate false information about South Africa regarding developments on migration. No fatalities have been recorded during the day of the protests. The spread of false information to perpetuate the false narrative that South Africa is xenophobic is unacceptable"
Yes. President Yama 2000 has arrived. 💛💙

@SaneleS72798826@NtsaphoMadyibi I think sometimes we get caught up in wanting to be right and seeing things in black and white.
We speak of human rights - this is correct. However people also have a constitutional right to water and electricity. Sometimes these rights trample each other but we’re blind to it.
Everyday the already suffering residents are subjected to load reduction which spoils food, they can’t study, bathe with cold water, can’t cook, must buy takeaway…
If the transformer blows, they go years without electricity until they (locals) fundraise for a new transformer.
When they arrive, most settle in townships which are densely populated, lack services, are impoverished, have limited resources.
As soon as they get a shack or structure they want electricity, burdening the local grid. To avoid a transformer blowing,load reduction is implemented
Every month about 26 000 domestic and international migrants come to Gauteng looking for gold.
That’s 26 000 people who need water, electricity, sanitation, education, housing, jobs, transportation etc
What many don’t want to acknowledge is that the burden of immigration (illegal or legal) often rests on the shoulders of the poor.
They need to compete for access to schools, clinics, water, electricity, housing etc.
Since I’m in energy, I’ll use load reduction to illustrate.
