@sandileswana What's most frustrating isn't just the issue itself, it's feeling like many South Africans are saying there's a problem, while government officials deny it
Whether people agree on the causes or the solutions, ignoring genuine public concerns only deepens division & erodes trust
@sandileswana SAfrians: "We have a serious problem with illegal foreigners."
Government: "There's no problem."
Middle class: "We don't see a problem."
When those living with the consequences are dismissed while those in power deny their concerns, the country is headed in the wrong direction
Interesting one: most models are leaning Canada vs South Africa in the Round of 32โฆ but @ChatGPTapp currently has South Africa with a real upset chance. ๐๐ฟ๐ฆโฝ
