RWANDA TELLS AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO STOP BLAMING SOUTH AFRICA FOR THEIR IRRESPONSIBILITY
Rwandan minister of foreign affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, has told African countries to take responsibility and stop sending their people illegally to SA and then blame SA.
South Africans are deeply frustrated and with good reason about illegal immigration and the pressure it places on already scarce opportunities.
But the real crisis is not the immigrants themselves. The root cause is our failure, over the past fifteen years, to deliver inclusive economic growth that creates enough jobs, dignity and hope for our own people.
This failure has been driven by three systemic issues we can no longer ignore:
โข A collapse in the rule of law that has enabled corruption, criminality, land invasions, illegal migration, and the brazen theft of electricity and water.
โข Bureaucracy and red tape that continue to strangle enterprise, deter investment and kill job creation.
โข Incompetent and, in too many cases, corrupt leadership in key positions across government, state-owned enterprises and parts of the private sector.
As leaders, we must have the courage to look in the mirror and ask a difficult but necessary question: How have we allowed these conditions to take root and persist?
This question is not about blame. It is about responsibility and that is precisely why it is empowering. It places the power to change things back where it belongs: with us. We are not helpless. We are not victims of forces beyond our control. By focusing on what lies within our sphere of influence our decisions, our standards, our willingness to confront uncomfortable truths and act decisively, we can begin to reverse the damage we have helped create.
The time for self-criticism and honest reflection is now. The time for excuses has long passed. South Africaโs future will be determined by leaders who are prepared to own their part in the mess and do the hard, disciplined work required to fix it.
Itโs like a school with many classrooms. Just because youโre in the same school doesnโt mean you belong to every classroom. You only belong where youโre registered.

Whenever I see anything patriotic, I retweet it. South Africa is a sovereign state with laws. This pathetic level of degeneration, disguised as sympathy while completely disregarding the grievances raised by locals is absurd.
