The African diaspora needs to stop treating this as just another online debate.
If South Africa wants to normalise the mistreatment, humiliation and scapegoating of other Africans, then Africans outside South Africa should respond economically and culturally.
Stop watching South African films and shows. Stop buying South African wine. Stop buying South African products. Stop promoting South African tourism. Stop rewarding a country that treats vulnerable Africans as disposable while still expecting African solidarity, African markets and African cultural support.
This is not hatred of ordinary South Africans. It is a refusal to support a system and a social climate that dehumanises other Africans while calling it patriotism.
If African lives matter, then African money, attention and cultural support should also matter.
At this point, it is a moral obligation! I for one, I am done!
