@ForeignPolicy@hofrench " ...attitudes of the West..."
Trying to turn natives into an eventual minority in their own land for foreign cheap labour IS the attitude of the West.
Why are there more Bangladeshis in South Africa than in the U.S, a settler colony of 300 million?

In lieu of open-mindedness and courage, South Africans have in recent days emulated the worst attitudes of the West toward other Africans, writes columnist @hofrench. https://t.co/2tHSy4wiOg
@mailandguardian Many of them have documents. Expired visas.
The point isn't that they're undocumented. It's that they're here illegally.

@tamm_rsa@HistorySAZAR You are trying to keep a thread going to save face, which has already gotten to the heart of the matter.
My second sentence attests to what was disingenuous with your original post.
@tamm_rsa@HistorySAZAR No one said anything about a "single" white person. By that logic 2024 is the year the whites voted for EFF. There's always one somewhere.
It's not statistically/demographically descriptive.
@CyrilRamaphosa "In recent months..."
Lol this topic has been going on for YEARS.
There's a noticeable tactic to mold the narrative....to narrow this to be about "Zulu nationalism" instead of SA sentiment ...or "Afrophobia" instead of migration concerns.

Dear Fellow South African,
In recent months, many South Africans have raised concern about illegal immigration, asking whether our borders are secure and our laws are being enforced.

@MxolisiBob There's no way that open borders make sense with this differential on a continent of 1.5 billion (& beyond) with modern travel.
Unless one sees black SA as some sort of interchangeable MASS whose QUALITY OF LIFE doesn't matter & not as the citizens of their own land.

In recent months, many South Africans have raised concern about illegal immigration, asking whether our borders are secure and our laws are being enforced.
It is in this context that I addressed the nation last night on the actions government is taking to manage migration in the country and specifically to address the challenge of illegal immigration.
We are responding to real concerns that communities have about the effects that unchecked illegal immigration has on jobs and economic opportunities. We know that some companies employ – and exploit – undocumented foreign nationals in violation of the law. There is also a perception that spaza shops owned by foreign nationals are squeezing out local traders in communities.
People are also concerned that illegal immigration puts increased pressure on public services like clinics, hospitals and schools. In reality, when one looks at the statistics, foreign nationals account for a very small proportion of users of these public services. Nevertheless, there is a perception among some people that our public services are being overwhelmed. 🔗 https://t.co/qJMbGhVWhc

Still can't answer why South Africa, a country with its own native population to take care of, has more Bangladeshis than the United States of America, a settler-colony of over 300 million people.

President Cyril Ramaphosa admits that the government has not effectively enforced immigration laws, citing weak enforcement, corruption and failures in the migration system.

WATCH | President Cyril Ramaphosa addresses citizens on immigration-related matters. He says the responsibility of enforcing immigration laws rests with the government and the government alone.

Let us do so not through fear, anger, hatred or violence, but through unity, determination and respect for the rule of law.
Let us build a South Africa that is secure, lawful, compassionate and prosperous.
A South Africa in which we expand opportunity, protect people’s dignity and fulfil the promise of democracy for all.

As President Cyril Ramaphosa prepares to address the nation on illegal migration, international relations expert Kingsley Makhubela says the focus should remain on strengthening law enforcement. He says taking the issue to an international platform could backfire and further damage South Africa's image. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.
