As we bravely wage war against illegal immigrants, may we not forget Constantia, Bishopscourt, Parklands, and the like. There’s more than illegal immigration hiding there, so those are excellent places to start.
My hope is that EVERYONE is treated as a suspect because an illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant, whether they come from Burundi, Cambodia or France, and whether they live in shacks or mansions….as long as they are here illegally, then zonke bonke….one side👉🏾
Being poor, black or African CANNOT be the “obvious clue” that someone is here illegally. If really, the plan is to treat skin colour, class or accent as “symptoms” of illegality, then we should at least have the courage to admit that our issue is not illegal immigration…..sixabene nje nobumnyama.
Izingane zikaJan van Riebeeck ziyakwazi ukuvota la, noma ziphethe amaPassport aseYurope, kodwa lokho akusihluphi neze! But when it comes to izingane zikaMzilikazi, asifuni ukuzwa ngisho iphunga lazo, we immediately assume illegality and demand papers🤷🏽♀️
It’s not yet Uhuru, but we have hope.
KENYA: RESIDENTS CHASE NIGERIANS AWAY
A new wave of violence against Nigerians have erupted in Ruiru, Kenya, following the death of a woman whom the residents blame it on Nigerians. This is the second time in three years that Ruiru residents chase Nigerians away.
Today is Freedom Day. This freedom includes a 31% unemployment rate (top 3 in the world), 55% of our people live in poverty, 80%+ of our Grade 4 learners can’t read to understand, and this after 30 years of democratic fruits? South Africa is the most unequal country on earth.
Did you know? In 1938, Oliver Tambo and Joseph Mokoena broke academic barriers for Black students, with their high scores in Mathematics and Physical Science in the Transvaal being matched by only one White student that year. This prompted the government to probe their marks and ordered them to rewrite both subjects. Even after rewriting, both Tambo & Mokoena still topped the matric class of the year.
