When she asked, “Why aren’t South Africans fighting against white foreigners as well?” I was genuinely annoyed because it completely misses the point.
White South Africans or foreigners generally aren’t competing with illegal migrants for limited public resources. Most don’t live in townships or informal settlements where the pressure on public clinics, schools and low skilled jobs is felt most. Poor black South Africans do.
That’s why this issue is experienced differently. It’s not about race. It’s about who is directly affected by the competition for already stretched public resources.
People who live side by side with illegal migrants and rely on the same public services are naturally going to have different concerns from those who don’t. Their experiences deserve to be acknowledged, not reduced to accusations of xenophobia. I don’t know why she and everyone including the government and politicians don’t get it. I’m not directly affected by illegal immigrants but I can’t dismiss the lived experiences of people who are affected by them.
I used to work in healthcare, and I can tell you this: there is still a lot of stigma around HIV/AIDS.
Many people, including the wealthy, would rather suffer in silence than be seen collecting their medication at a clinic. Some men still believe HIV can be cured by herbs, while others hold dangerous myths such as sleeping with a virgin to cure the virus.
Despite the progress we’ve made, misinformation and stigma remain some of the biggest barriers to prevention, testing, and treatment. We need more education, more compassion, and less judgment.

Without tire changers and oil changers around, where will you learn?
