The abuse of Africans in South Africa is embarrassing and unacceptable.

The @MYANC @CyrilRamaphosa and the government of South Africa surely can not allow this inhuman and degrading treatment of fellow Africans .

We accept that ZANU PF and parties like it created thebimmmigration crises in South Africa.

We accept that dictatorship, corruption , governance and leadership failure have forced Africans to find refugee in South Africa and abroad .

But this is no excuse for the blatant shameless xenophobic attacks on Africans .

Shame on those driving and leading this rank madness !!

I remember reporting almost two weeks ago about Zimbabweans camped outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town. What I do not understand is this: these people have made it clear that they want to return home. We all know they did not plan for these circumstances. They have been stripped of their livelihoods and, in many cases, no longer have the financial means to get back to Zimbabwe.

What stops the President from instructing the Minister of Finance and the relevant ministries to organise buses to transport our people from Cape Town back home?
What stops the government from allowing them to cross the border with their personal goods and belongings without charging customs duty, given that this is clearly a humanitarian crisis?

This is not a complicated policy issue. It is a basic act of leadership and compassion.

What I struggle to understand about the Zimbabwean government is that you see men in expensive suits and women in elegant dresses, yet they fail to think in such simple, practical terms.
At times like these, a government should be seen doing what governments are meant to do, protecting and assisting its citizens.

South African media have reported on the plight of these Zimbabweans almost every day. The situation is neither hidden nor unknown. Yet there has been no meaningful humanitarian response from Harare.

The government and its supporters will no doubt come up with all sorts of excuses. But this really is straightforward. Send buses. Bring your people home. Waive customs duties on their personal belongings. They have been forced into this situation by the climate of xenophobia and Afrophobia they have experienced in South Africa.

A government’s responsibility is not to make excuses. It is to act.

THIS IS TRULY HEARTBREAKING 💔 We must act urgently to support our fellow Zimbabwean nationals during this difficult time. Silence and inaction are not options. Now is the time for diplomatic efforts, compassion, solidarity, and decisive action.

Tafadzwa Matanhuse committed no crime. He is being punished for SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER just as the prophets of old did and were similarly punished by evil kings who feared the truth.

Thank you Tafadzwa for being a prophetic voice speaking up for the poor. And thank you @ropamakumire and all the vendors of Chiredzi who stood in solidarity with him.

🔸Gosh this is a joke. They throw stacks of $100 bills around like it’s nothing yet they expect a person engaging in hard domestic work to survive on $90 per month. That’s not even a tank of fuel. It is yet another anti-poor, anti-people, anti-progress policy by this incompetent Govt. It’s a mess.

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

This is exactly why in the context of Zimbabwe, a country where majority pple have been bankrupted by their own governmnt 3 times in 25 years, elections of all who directly derive power from the pple should be by the people. Trinkets cannot be allowed to hold a nation at ransom
