Sober up South Africa

[Lerato ᧔ෆ᧓ @_BellaM_]

You wrote an entire essay explaining a judgment as though South Africans questioning its implications are incapable of reading it themselves (that’s condescending). We know the ruling doesn’t grant citizenship or voting rights or whatever you guys think we “unlearned” people think. Correct those spreading that misinformation instead of using them to discredit everyone raising legitimate concerns.

What your lengthy explanation conveniently avoids is the practical reality. Home Affairs already has an asylum backlog, applications and appeals can take years and the Department itself has acknowledged concerns about its capacity.

So what happens when more applications enter an already overwhelmed system? How will screening work? How will backlogs be cleared? What happens to applicants whose claims are finally rejected?

Nobody is asking Home Affairs to defy the Constitutional Court. We’re demanding an operational plan and legislative reform within constitutional limits (I’ve drafted an email and petition and we sent them to the home affairs standing committee.

And please, stop reducing every criticism of immigration policy to unemployment anxiety, xenophobia or electoral manipulation. South Africans are perfectly capable of understanding a court judgment and questioning its consequences.

You explained what the Court decided. You haven’t explained how Home Affairs intends to manage it. That’s the conversation you keep avoiding.

YOU ARE SELLING OUR COUNTRY TO THE SOMALI COMMUNITY YOU SELL OUT!

South Africans have every right to question that man’s citizenship status, even if he’s naturalised, because of the corruption at @HomeAffairsSA. I stand by my post that that man is not South African by birth. He may be a naturalised Somali-born South African, but he’s definitely not South African by birth.

He previously ran for councillor in the same ward in Mayfair when he was with Al Jama-ah. And do you know who was endorsing him? Members of the Somali community. They even wanted his campaign manager to be Somali. Why? They claim that Mayfair is predominantly Somali and most of them are refugees and Asylum seekers since these group of people can’t vote who’s voting for him? The naturalized ones? How did they get naturalized? Especially with the well documented home affairs citizenship corrupt? This needs to be looked at.

Don’t you guys ever ask yourselves questions? What’s next? Are we going to have a Somali-born president? Are you willingly selling our country to foreigners Lukhona? Are you a sell out?? Coming here screaming at us won’t change our opinions and it doesn’t even amplify your opinion.

Little known fact: 15 years ago (2011) asylum seekers could not apply for any form of social relief from SA Gov. Scalabrini Centre & Another v Minister of Social Development (June 2020) changed that & they qualify for SRD Grant. It always starts out as impossible until it isn't

[Jacinta Ngobese🇿🇦 @JacintaNgobese]

After removing our immigration laws now they are on track to change the labour laws to ensure that refugees and asylum seekers are no longer considered FOREIGNERS and have the same rights we do!!!

[Linda Mtoba @Linda_Mtoba]

It’s 7 am and there’s already more than enough reasons to go out in numbers and VOTE!!

Remember they were attacking the source of her funds but no one’s asking who’s funding these NGOs that represent foreigners in court cases against the State

Muncu ukufa kaloku imajority yeeSouth Africans. They only think for today. Future forecast yi myth kubo.

[Thembeka Siwisa @TSNoro]

@zizipho50 Unyuba into engekhoyo , it's not even Africans who're going to take advantage of this. It'll be Pakistani 's and Bangladeshi people. Kodwa qhuba unyube kuba kuwe the most important thing is looking good in party politics instead of the Country.

[Mntungwa, Mbulaz'omnyama 🇿🇦🇩🇪 @balush7]

It's mostly the people that lives elokishini that will be affected by the home affairs decision. Yet they here baxhaphe amagwebu shouting " nyweee nyweee AMAJACINTA" your families or parents will also be affected by this mnxmmm anicingi nalonto.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who showed up, travelled, sang, listened and added their voice at the People’s Imbizo that took place at George Thabe stadium this past Saturday.🇿🇦❤️

The people didn’t just gather. We signed the People’s Charter.

South Africa has had a Freedom Charter. 😉 Now, the people have spoken again.

30 Years. One Constitution. One Future.

The BMA is just there to pacify South Africans. Jacinta has been saying it's under funded. Redi Tlhabi says her information is unverified‼️
#MadlangaCommission Prof Somadosa Fikeni

[Khangisa (Prof. ) @Siyakhangisa]

Professor Somadoda Fikeni took the stand on Day 176 and said something that should have stopped the room.

South Africa's implementation failures are not incompetence.

They are design.

He called it a "political economy of inefficiency." An appearance of action while the system is structured so that policies and programmes do not actually work.

Okay. Let me walk through what he actually said.

1. South Africa has some of the best governance policies on paper.

Fikeni should know. He chairs the Public Service Commission. His job is to evaluate whether those papers mean anything.

He said he has seen four ministers in five years at the PSC. High turnover is not chaos. It is a feature — because every new minister restarts the clock, and the system behind the minister keeps running.

But then he said the quiet part:

"The unwillingness to implement, but the presentation of a facade that we want to implement. Okay, let them push, but we'll make sure that it doesn't work."

2. The drone example.

The Border Management Authority has four drones for 71 ports of entry.

Fifty-two of those ports are land borders.

The BMA says it cannot procure more because the budget goes to salaries, with almost nothing left for operations and equipment. Officials have applied for extra funding through the Criminal Assets Recovery Account.

Four drones. Seventy-one ports.

That is not a budget shortfall. That is a statement.

3. But the drone gap is not the story. The story is the rest of the inventory.

Fikeni pointed to a wider pattern: idle equipment. Unspent grants. Software licences purchased and never activated. ICT systems bought and never switched on.

Money has been spent. The receipt exists. The box was delivered. It was never opened.

This is not theft. It is worse. Theft requires someone to want something. This requires no one to want anything to work.

4. Here is what "political economy of inefficiency" actually means.

It is not that the system is broken. It is that the system produces exactly the outcome it was designed to produce:

- Appearances of action for the annual report.
- Delays long enough for the political cycle to turn.
- Just enough functionality to keep the lights on while the wiring corrodes.

When a minister announces a new programme, the announcement is the deliverable.

The programme is optional.

5. The uncomfortable truth:

Incompetence can be fixed. You train people. You hire better ones. You restructure.

A system designed to look like it is working while ensuring it does not work cannot be reformed from within.

Because the people who would have to fix it are the same people who benefit from it staying broken.

Fikeni did not say that last part.

He did not have to.

Four drones for seventy-one borders said it for him.
