The problem is that you’re trying to reduce this entire issue to unemployment while completely sidestepping the fact that illegal immigration is by definition, a violation of the law.

Nobody is defending the ANC’s disastrous economic policies, corruption or the collapse of law enforcement. Those failures are real. But that doesn’t mean immigration laws should simply be ignored.

A country can demand economic reform, secure borders and proper enforcement of immigration laws at the same time. The DA keeps acting as if South Africans are unreasonable for wanting existing laws enforced. That’s the real issue here.

I suspect you have us confused with your home country, Nigeria. We have challenges yes, but we are cruising nicely here, our government intervened to ensure national self-reliance to close the shortfall occasioned by withdrawal of PEPFAR funding. The supply of life-saving ARV drugs to most patients remains secure despite the withdrawal.

Please do pay attention to your own shortcomings before throwing nonexistent stones at South Africa

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Which South Africans? You are a senator who pays attention to random social media commentary? What is the OFFICIAL position of the government of South Africa and what is the status quo? Do you know why SA's Health Minister had downplayed the US's PEPFAR withdrawal ANNOUNCEMENT?

Let me educate you. Motsoaledi is chilled because South Africa funds the majority its HIV/AIDS response itself. 74 -80% comes from SA. 17-21% from PEPFAR and 2-7% from Global Fund and other donors.

Meanwhile, Nigeria's government consistently spends well below the 15% of national budgets that AU countries committed to. You have poorly equipped hospitals and clinics, your system operates intermittently with devastating consequences for the poor. You are a popular case study at many global convenings that I moderate.

You have poor sanitation and have the highest malaria burden in the world. Never mind HIV/AIDS. You had poor federal -state coordination for Covid19. I know. I moderated a WHO-AFRICA Summit on this in 2022, in Togo. Your officials and experts were pouring their hearts out.

So shut your trap. Senator.

@Dist_Afrikan @PhilMphela How is this post xenophobic?

[Kgopolo @PhilMphela]

Ok enough now!

Where are our leaders to finally push back on these insults?

Many South Africans denounce violence against our fellow Africans.

But, these incessant insults towards us by calling South Africans lazy has to be challenged and rebuked.

It is this very rhetoric that is fueling anger.

It's Youth Month, a time we honour young people who took to the streets to fight for the freedom of this country. Remember Soweto, June 16 in 1976 and Turfloop, June 12 1986.

#FeesMustFall as well as #RhodesMustFall ... Who did that?!

Our country is not perfect. We have serious issues we ought to deal with and that's our burden to carry.

To continue allowing people with loud voices to call us lazy and spit on our faces is disheartening.

Again, no sane South African wants to see innocent people being violently attacked. Many just want things to be done right and legally. Yes, including immigration.

It's the so-called lazy South Africans who dealt with Covid and made sure the pandemic does not decimate our part of the world.

It is the same lazy South Africans who send our soldiers to wars to help our fellow Africans. We lost 14 soldiers in DRC. RIP Maqhawe!

Why are our leaders in government and civil society allowing us to be disrespected and called lazy?

If we are lazy, how are we able to use our civic duty to vote in an orderly non-violent free and fair manner? Lazy people allow the politicians to refuse to leave office and rule for life. We don't.

If we are lazy why is there order in our country. Our systems are not perfect but many are working efficiently, even immigrants from the diaspora always praise how things work in this country. Many have spoken about something as simple as how queing at the bank is orderly done in Mzansi than it is in Nigeria. Who makes that happen if we are lazy?

Who builds the infrastructure, that many the likes of this CEO enjoy when they visit this country? Are there no South Africans working in those construction projects?

Companies that run the economy of this country... Who works in those companies?

The healthcare sector that is legally open to everyone in this country, who is running that? Are all the nurses, doctors and administrators not South African?

You can call out violence and intimidation. You can condemn violence. Hell, you can even call us stupid, if you are so inclined, for allowing criminals to exploit our immigration policies... BUT don't you dare keep calling us lazy!

Shame on those with platforms to challenge this insult for keeping quiet!

Re telletswe go lekane. Kwanele manje. Nxa... Allen Onyema can go to hell!

‼️I’m so not impressed by mainstream media’s focussed attack on individuals who are demanding that government DO ITS JOB!

When are you planning on telling the other side of the story @News24 ? Or are your funders benefitting from the RAMPANT EXPLOITATION of CHEAP (Illegal) LABOUR?😭😭😭 #RuleOfLaw

[Ora @m_oratile01]

@Rushe_C The fact that you’re asking “what’s the next step?”after reducing the entire discussion to jobs is exactly the problem. The next step is enforcing the law.
Gov should manage borders,regulate who enters and stays, and address the consequences over time.That’s how governance works

[The Native Son of Bulawayo @BulawayoForever]

On the other hand, South Africans believe every African hates South Africa which is shocking. Walking in the streets of Bulawayo people are playing your music, doing SA dances, some watch SABC, other DSTV channels. Guys life is bigger than social media.

@she_JD14 Not only that, you are amplifying their message by engaging their with them.
