Basically the IDAC got drunk with power…the commission is such a sobering experience… Adv Andrea is genuinely embarrassed about some of their actions and decisions, at some level she’s shocked at why and how did things get this far…
If the government insists on calling them “undocumented” immigrants instead of “illegal” immigrants, speaks to the intended proposal to “address” the issue…which is to “document” them. Wait and see
Maan South Africa is fighting for its soul. The people are defending it, while the politicians are busy trying to sell it off piecemeal. Modimo a hane ka Rona! Morena se boloke setjhaba sa heso!
So the head of IDAC is being given a lecture on “law 101”🙆🏽♀️…Ao Mme Andrea bathong. Mare why did she come here with the “me I don’t know, me I thought” approach..no care to isdima niks
The only way these issues can be fixed is that government should hire people…expand the public sector service guys…this can’t be business as usual! The border is failing, local government is failing, law and order is failing, infrastructure is failing! Come on man! @TreasuryZA
When South Africans say they want the land back, this is what I think of. To be able to feed ourselves and live off it. Bo Ntate Mbeki can only think of mass production and capitalist use, like it’s the end all and be all of land use
Sho, Modimo o lwanela Mokwele shame. Imagine being referred to as “clerk” and being caught up in the crossfire of law enforcement infighting. The girl worked hard to get that degree. A whole Mechatronics Engineer! IDAC targeting her like that, was evil.
If South Africans do not mobilise and organise some form of tax boycott, then the ever-increasing financial subjucation of the citizens will be allowed to continue unabated.
South Africa has one of the highest tax burdens in the world relative to its economic development level, with a total tax-to-GDP ratio sitting at nearly 30%.
This places South Africa far above the global average tax-to-GDP ratio of roughly 15%, making its extraction rate comparable to advanced, high-income Nordic economies rather than developing peers.
However, unlike those advanced nations, South Africans experience a profound "tax-to-benefit" mismatch, where the return on tax paid is severely undermined by state corruption, incompetence and inefficiencies - thereby necessitating double-payments for basic services.
@sarstax is the enemy.
Time to say #NoToTax.
Only regulating or reducing regulation has shown to be ineffective in reducing unemployment. Government needs to actively become an employer and increase the public workforce.
Then you have no Mme Madonsela telling people we need to balance with Ubuntu. How? When no one is balancing anything for us but exploiting and undercutting us at every opportunity.
South Africa is a crime scene. The basis food basket is R5400. That’s before electricity, transport, rent and clothing. Then you have employers paying entry level salaries of R3600, and an illegal immigrant willing to take R2500. Then government gives unemployment grant of R370
@phethani4 It’s understandable to want to sympathise with her, but she’s a grown woman now…she should have gone to home affairs to fix her situation..many people have been in her shoes and have been naturalised. Yena she’s now deliberately circumventing the law.
@eNCA Is border patrol that bad or corrupt that this well known illegal immigrant was able to get back into the country without being held back or arrested right at point of entry?
@CyrilRamaphosa can we be honest hle Ntate, the austerity measures are breaking this nation. Let government spend, hire more police officers, hire the teachers and nurses and doctors…build the schools and roads. Revive the coal plants to increase Eskom generation. Let SA work!
So government has room to hire unemployed youth to facilitate these actions. No need for private company intervention. There are enough people available to just do the work.
Immigration control is not just by the border, it’s ensuring that those asylum and refugee seekers that get denied are deported within days after their rejection. That immigrants arrested due to crime are deported within days of their arrest. No negotiation, just swift action.
