A Pakistani Muslim purposefully murdered a SAPS woman officer in Lichtenburg by ramming his car into her. The silence of the GNU, local media and NGO’s has been deafening.

Some of us are from Durban. We are the generation of R1.20 soft serve ice cream from The Workshop. We will eat that caramel dip or chocolate dip in public. Asinavalo.

Please don't be silent about this two.
They were killed by illegal immigrants in South Africa.💔💔💔

Oral presentation
I wish to make an oral presentation at the public hearings. [Yes / No]
Summary of position
I support the Bill’s aim of putting South African work seekers first, and its framework of quotas, labour-market testing and fines. I object to Clause 1(d), which amends the definition of “foreign national” in section 1 to exclude refugees and asylum seekers.
That change would take refugees and asylum seekers outside the whole of the new Chapter 3A. Employers would not need to check whether a South African is available before hiring them, prepare a skills transfer plan, or count them against a quota. For South Africans looking for work, this would weaken the very protections the Bill is meant to create.
I ask the Committee to:
keep the current definition of “foreign national”;
write into the Act a clear rule that South African citizens are considered first for employment; and
retain and enforce the Bill’s protections for local work seekers.
Who I am
I am a South African citizen who has been both employed and unemployed. I make this submission in my personal capacity, as an ordinary work seeker, and not on behalf of any business or organisation. I know first-hand what it means to look for work in this country, and what a single income means to a household.
My experience of employment and unemployment
Periods without work. [Optional - How long you were unemployed, and how many times. What kind of work you were looking for, and your qualifications or experience at the time.]
Looking for work. [Optional - How you searched: job boards, labour centres, the Department’s ESSA system, walking in to businesses, word of mouth. Roughly how many applications you made, and how many led to interviews.]
What it cost my household. [Optional - Who depends on your income. What your family went without, and how you got by: grants, family support, piece jobs, debt.]
Getting work. [Optional - How you found work in the end. What the job is or was, and what changed for your household once you were earning.]
What I saw first-hand. [MOST IMPORTANT SECTION. Anything you experienced yourself, for example a vacancy you were qualified for that was filled without being advertised locally, or being told no suitable South Africans had applied. Only include what you saw or experienced directly.]
What I learned. [Optional. For example, training or a learnership that helped you get work, which shows that skills gaps can be closed locally.]
My experience is not unusual. Many people in my community are in the same position. A job is often the only income in a household, and every vacancy matters.
Objection to Clause 1(d)
1. It works against the Bill’s own purpose. Section 2(1)(h)(iii), as amended, says foreign employment must promote work opportunities for and training of South African citizens and permanent residents. Exempting a large group of non-citizens from the labour-market test and from quotas weakens that protection at a time of very high unemployment.
2. It weakens the quota test. Proposed section 12B(7)(c) requires the Minister to consider the availability of skills “among South Africans, refugees and asylum seekers” when setting a quota. A quota could therefore be set higher because skills exist among refugees and asylum seekers, even where South Africans with those skills are still looking for work.
3. Asylum seekers have no determined status. An asylum seeker is someone whose application has not yet been decided. Applications can remain pending for long periods, and not all are approved. Giving undecided applicants the same hiring status as citizens is premature.

[ZacMoselane @MolebatsiTurf]

We will not keep quiet about your death. An illegal immigrant allowed by systems of this country caused your death and the police waited until we made noise to attend to your situation.

[Top notch𓃵 @Odi_theG]

South African media houses are busy reporting the death of an illegal foreigner but fail to report that a South African warrant officer was killed by a Pakistani.

You cannot demand obedience to laws that you DON'T enforce.

You cannot invoke constitutional authority as a shield against criticism while offering NO enforcement.

government cannot monopolise enforcement, evade accountability & pretend that public frustration is the problem

[Village Lawyer ⚖️🇿🇦👆 @Malatjie_]

There are people employed to deal with procurement and suppliers.

She could have easily placed blame on the people who are directly responsible for this, she did not do that.

She stood firm and took responsibility.

Opposition parties were hoping this would be disastrous for her and @Action4SA , that wasn’t the case …it is infact the opposite …we are applauding how she’s handling the matter.

BREAKING NEWS | A lot has been shifting quietly over the past few weeks.

But now I get to share it with you.

I’ve recently been appointed Investigations Editor at @eNCA.

As you know, the bulk of my twenty-year career has been spent here as a field reporter.

Now, I have the privilege of leading a team that includes trusted and experienced journalists like @pule_jones and @Nabeelah_Shaikh.

Our newly launched unit - which covers both digital and TV platforms - will go beyond the breaking news and delve deeper into the issues that matter across South Africa.

We look forward to partnering with you, the law-abiding citizens of our beautiful country.

More details to follow soon…

In the meantime, where do they stay? What do they eat? Which public facilities are they using? How do they pay for water, electricity, waste management, etc?

Mmamoloko, we don’t care about your myths and facts campaign anymore. If you can’t stop people from entering the country illegally we are going to make your jobs hard! You can’t keep failing to secure our borders and expect South Africans to sit quietly while you pat yourselves on the back. Do your jobs! There won’t be a need for myths and facts. You are public servants!!!
