@Koolface1979 @FCB_Argentine Well, I have never seen a “team” on the scoresheet. It’s always individual players. But let haters hate for no reason. It’s fashionable when it comes to CR7.

@Siya_Mhlotshane @Sophie_Mokoena @MbuyiseniNdlozi @BafanaBafana @OfficialPSL What are you talking about? South Africans ARE Africans. This is exactly the problem.

Não era o arranque que queríamos, mas isto está longe de ter acabado. Cabeça levantada e foco no próximo jogo.

@mgxive @Newzroom405 Just like running amok in the street barebreasted brandishing sjamboks, questioning people and demanding documents from them without any lawful authority before whipping them black and blue is criminal.

@MosueDesmond @Selbybok @Sentletse @MosueDesmond there is Solly Bokaba and @Selbybok. But I wouldn’t use such strong language to characterise the brute force visited upon Bra Solly and fellow students by the Bop police back then.

@SportyTV @DrMsiziMyeza I didn’t pick up any fury there! 😅

@sandileswana So, if some academic comes and redefines the K-word, it stops being a racial slur?

[Thuli Madonsela Foundation @ThumaFoundation]

Remember the South Africans who left home after the Soweto Uprising to continue the struggle in exile. Across Africa, nations such as Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, Eswatini and Lesotho opened their doors, offering refuge, education and hope. These young people sacrificed family, comfort and certainty so that future generations could live in freedom. Their struggle became Africa’s struggle. Today we remember their courage, reflect on their sacrifice, and recommit ourselves to building the democratic South Africa they dreamed of. #YouthInExile #RememberReflectRebuild #YouthBuildSA

@HunadiFlorah @abiotmledwaba And their nationality.

[The Presidency 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA]

President @CyrilRamaphosa makes it clear that unlawful actions, violence, intimidation, xenophobia and the spread of misinformation have no place in South Africa.

Only authorised law enforcement agencies may act against violations of the law, and all people must be treated with dignity and respect.

[Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa]

I must make it clear that only the authorised government officials may act against violations of the law, including violation of our immigration laws.

No other person is allowed, for example, to confront someone in the street to demand proof of nationality.

@MsiziDoobe @FabAcademic Roaming the streets harassing people and demanding documents when you lack the lawful authority to do so is not governing, Msizi. It is breaking the law. You commit crime while supposedly fighting it. How does it work?

[Kgethi Phakeng, PhD(Wits); Hon DSc (UBristol) @FabAcademic]

I reject the derogatory term “amakwerekwere” completely. It is a slur used to insult fellow black Africans simply for being from another country. If loving and respecting other black Africans makes me a “kwerekwere”, then I am proudly one and I will never apologise for that.
I am against illegal immigration and have said so clearly and consistently. South Africa has every right to secure its borders and enforce its laws. But I will not support xenophobic hatred or the dehumanisation of innocent people who are here legally simply because they are black Africans from other countries.
Discrimination based on nationality or skin colour is wrong. We must deal firmly with illegality not turn fellow Africans into enemies. South Africa’s problems will not be solved by attacking people who look like us.
Let’s focus on the real issues: rule of law, border control, and building a better country for all South Africans without descending into tribalism or xenophobia.
Enough with the slurs.

@LolwethuLaw @casspernyovest Do you understand what “play victim” means?

@NioVezi @ThandoAfrika So, all those criminal activities are exclusively perpetuated by foreign nationals of African descent? You are okay with it as long as it is not done by immigrants? Is your problem crime or the identity of the people committing it?
