So your experience of hiring a Malawian domestic worker for a day and your experience of a Malawian tailor are the facts that we need to rely on as opposed to Jacinta's own impressions of things? Hmm that is interesting

[In A Nutshell🥜 @Markosonke1]

🚨 ANOTHER CLAIM I DON'T AGREE WITH... 🤔

One thing I keep hearing is that Malawians are "cheap labour." From my own experience, that hasn't been the case.

I've hired a Malawian domestic worker before, and the daily rate was around R300, about what I'd expect to pay a South African for the same work.

Go to JHB Malawian tailor are super excellent at their job and they not cheap as Jacinta says...

The same goes for gardening. Around R300 a day is not what I'd call "cheap labour."

For skilled jobs like plumbing, electrical work, painting or construction, prices are usually negotiated based on the job and experience, regardless of nationality.

What many people I've worked with have been known for is reliability, a strong work ethic, humility and consistency. Those qualities are often why employers hire them.

To be clear, I'm not promoting undocumented immigration. Immigration laws should be respected and enforced. I'm simply saying we should be accurate when discussing the labour market.

If we're going to debate immigration, let's do it based on facts rather than assumptions.

It's okay to be hated for the truth, for standing up for yourselves and for the greater good. We wish they could hate us more from the comfort of their home.

[Deezy Phanda 🇿🇦 @DeezyphandaSA]

Am I wrong or did this World Cup prove Africans hate South Africans 🇿🇦? That hate been there 🤷🏾

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

Keeping Africans on survival mode for that long has made them incapable of uniting or being self-sacrificial. the visceral need to be envied and idolized is built in with the systemic blows and this is a conversation African minds shutdown to, making us incapable for now

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

I'm going to say something that might upset some people, but I believe it deeply and the evidence backs it up.

The single most powerful thing Black people anywhere in the world can do to fight racism is to become collectively wealthy. 

Not just individually successful, but wealthy as a community.

I watched this happen with other groups. When Japan was poor, Japanese people in America were put in internment camps. When Japan got rich, suddenly everyone wanted a Toyota and Japanese culture became aspirational. 

Korean Americans were targets of violence in the early 1990s. Today, after South Korea's economic rise, Korean culture is one of the most admired in the world.

The pattern is so consistent it's almost boring: poverty invites contempt, prosperity commands respect.

So when I hear debates about fighting racism in America, I always think the same thing. Yes, call out injustice when you see it, absolutely. But also build businesses, create wealth, and invest in your children's education like your life depends on it.

Make your community so economically powerful that discrimination becomes expensive for anyone who practices it.

That is how you win the game everyone else already figured out.

Africa is saying we should be happy to coexist with criminals in our societies because they are African.

Prove that you have watched game of thrones by dropping a sentence

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

and we dont hate these people, but when they are undocumented, they become destitute which later makes them desparate and it becomes easier for them to gravitate to criminal activities in such a short space of time

[JΛКΞ SHΛШ @Jake_Shaw2]

So illegal immigrants only become an inconvenience when they show up in our suburbs?
What I hate about my own kind is how we pretend not to care about the very real grievances black communities have been dealing with for years, until it finally hits our

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

@Ounalypse @kimheller3 @grok You werent sure with which one?

[Saxon African @Saxon_African]

They are rioting because the deportation process requires documentation. And documentation includes fingerprints... which would link them to crimes and prevent them from coming back.

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

@onyekanwelue The whole of Africa is gaslighting South Africa. Everyone in Africa knows what illegal immigrants are doing is wrong, they wouldnt allow it in their own countries and yet they want to blame South Africans for standing up against deliberate law-breaking. Its hogwash

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

The whole of Africa is gaslighting South Africa. What these migrants are doing is wrong and the whole continent sees it.

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

Dear AFRICANS, word of the day, of the week of the month even : ILLEGALLY. ILLEGALLY!!!

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

This cant be that hard to understand, if your kids are here illegally to study, we really dont want them here, we dont want you to be here ILLEGALLY.

[Katlego @KatliShanti]

@NewsLionSA We are not anti-immigration. That’s a lie. We are anti-ILLEGAL immigration. Surely it’s not difficult to understand that an influx of illegal immigration burdens our resources& services which we CITIZENS cannot rightfully access. Come on man!

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

@NewsLionSA Please withdraw your children

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

I am sorry to not add value to your discourse VT, but each time I hear this minister speak I get more convinced that she is just terrible at her job , she always lacks the ability to asses problems correctly and speak to hope or solutions. She needs to relieved of her duties

[VT @VusiThembekwayo]

Reflection: I took years off the South Africans' current affairs cycle.

I felt that the conversation was NOT moving. And I felt I couldn't add anything beyond what I had already contributed.

It was the same conversations, same talking points, same slogans, same vacuous posturing, same empty pledges & chronic never-to-be-followed-up
commitments.

I remember saying to one of the execs in my team, “South Africa became diseased with sameness.”

During that time, we built our international business to be multiple times the size of our SA base.

We built a bigger business in less than half the time with multinational clients & client states that want to get things done.
Sure, they talk. All clients meet, confer, and talk. But after that, they actually MOVE! Stuff gets done!

Since dialling back into the SA discourse over the past few months, I have been sad to realise that South Africa is still talking about the same thing she was talking about 8 years ago.

The needle hasn't moved at all.

And worse, the macros have only become worse.
Much worse.

You can't blame any legacy issue for this. We are living with the consequences of unmitigated & gross negligence.

In my lifetime, I have watched my generations become youth, and live out their youth & eventually no longer classified as youth, still crying out for the same things: more opportunities to better their lives.

Only those that scream loud enough and break enough things are heard, so they are quickly co-opted with some “opportunities” or “board seats” and suddenly silenced.

This is how the system is engineered: If you're silent, you may starve. If you scream, you get co-opted.

But the truth is, the majority were, and many still are, left outside the system.

An entire generation lost.
The country's Overton window is fast closing.

And the only thing our leaders can offer is sampled below.

[IamYourShepherd @snadzz]

They cant tell us they are serious about this before they remove Stella-Ndabeni from that position. One way or another the ANC is realising how key that ministry is and how they shouldve handled it better.

[IOL News @IOL]

Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has urged young people to embrace entrepreneurship and seize available business opportunities, stating bluntly that the government's role is to create an enabling environment rather than direct employment.
