The viral video where members of Operation Dudula (an anti-immigration organisation and registered political party) confronted a Ghanaian man who had allegedly overstayed his visit to South Africa has caused a diplomatic row between the two countries.

Here's why I think the Ghanaian government has a weak case:

1. Their citizen has potentially committed a crime in SA by flouting immigration rules - he's allegedly now living and working in SA on an expired tourist visa.

2. Operation Dudula did not assault the Ghanaian, they simply lectured him on their anti-immigration stance.

3. The South African government has committed to investigate the matter, which would compel it to either arrest or deport the Ghanaian national should he infact be an illegal alien.

4. South Africa can request Ghana for reasons why her citizens resort to illegal migration (i.e. find the country uninhabitable).

Your thoughts?

Ignorance

Do you know how many south africans are living in other African Countries

Imagine insult...


They would chase Elon musk from America back to South Africa

Look at her pencil-like mouth...werey

Apartheid comeback kee you there.

Mandela must be rolling in his grave.

Infested HIV country. Let them travel and see life but prefer to be oppressed by the whites still colonizing them

Lmao is that the SANs that were asking for the Ghanaian to leave their country?

Omooorrrr Nigerians fine sha coz wtf is that creature ?

Meanwhile to be very frank, SANs have every right to ask other Africans to go back home and hold their governments accountable. It's a shame that instead of fixing our various African countries, we resorted to fleeing to countries where citizens of those countries put their boots on ground and got the country working.

Take for instance, Nigeria has a population of over 200 million, our oppressors aren't even upto 100k but we can't unite and hold them tight to demand accountability, demand for a working Nigeria, we'd prefer we sell our ancestral lands and use the money to flee from Nigeria, that's crazy, absurd and an act of cowardice.

Useless set of mofo that can't even work, very useless and jealous idiots, you don't want to and you don't foreigners work and as if sad Africans didn't migrate to other countries.

Legally.

Show me a South African living in another country illegally. That makes you a criminal.

South Africans are right, but are just going about it the wrong way.

Allow the state immigration to do its job.

Shameful, African calling another African immigrant

Everyone needs to stay in their country @MTN @protea @ stanbic @dstv etc and all south African companies .... You can't be earning from other African countries to develop these set of xenophobic idiots

That should be directed at Nigeria not Ghana..

How can someone like hellanus say Nigerians should sell off their cars to buy bicycles if they can't afford fuel...

This mumu people and their mumu reasoning... Irritating

I love this...but the sad truth is that successful and brilliant business guys from other countries in Africa are cherished And South Africans want to be like them while the rascal ones face xenophobic by that rag tag South Africans.

Kiss it.

Whether legally or illegally what are they doing in other people's country...what are they looking for ...if they can get all they need and wants in their country why are they migrating

Because we have failed to do what South Africans are doing, we now have foreigners constituting nuisance in Nigeria.

I commend the efforts of the south Africans.


More than 100 Togolese, Nigeriens and others are in Nigeria without visa, which is a contributory factor to the insecurity being faced in the country

That woman don't care if you are in SA legally or illegally...she just don't want to see other Africans. That's Afrophobia n it should be condemned

South Africa is not a country to migrate to.

A country that if the white man remove all his investment, war infested country like sudan will be better than it.


Instead of south African to to pour out their frustrations on the white man who kept them captive for centuries, it is the black man that is paying for it.

South Africa has multinational companies, have you not noticed? Why would we leave SA to go live in a less developed country? All of Africa is less developed than SA and therefore not attractive to us.

If you chase us out, we leave with our DSTVs, Stanbic, Shoprite, MTN, etc.

Ghana should prove that. Right now she caught someone breaking the law - can we talk about the crime?

Except North Africa. NAs are way more developed than SA and every other black country in Africa.

It goes beyond Ghanians

She was in hospital the other day telling docs not to attend to non SA patients

I saw that video online and I was like don't they have police or agency incharge of immigration. How can a political party be taking laws into their hands? That video really touched me. Imagine the kind of question they were asking him? If our leaders had done the needful, there wouldn't be need for this embarrassment.

They claimed he overstayed does not mean they are right unless you have proof that fat guy is an expert on immigration laws. Best thing to do is call the cops on him who would then take over.

That guy was scared for his life as they really intimidated him.

Let's learn to say the truth.

Why are they all behaving like immigration officers in South Africa? Allow the authorities do their job!

I'm not holding forth for the Ghanaian man but, for goodness sake, are you all immigration officers?

What the Bleep is that country turning into?

The moment all Africans leave SA you will notice a crash because south African people lack talent and tact to move forward. Then the white south African community will hold sway again and we other African countries will only laugh and watch "apartheid part2"

SA healthcare facilities are free for citizens and undocumented immigrants don't qualify. So if you can't show proof you're legal Dudula has taken it upon themselves to turn you away - it's tax payers money. If I come to Nigeria I have to pay for everything as a foreigner - true or false?

You must be living in stone age

The South African Constitution guarantees everyone access to healthcare services. As such, everyone living in South Africa, including expats, refugees, and asylum seekers, is entitled to healthcare. Thus, expats qualify to visit public healthcare facilities simply based on living in the country.

The great country called NIGERIA has been related to the place of believing that they deserve what small countries like Ghana cannot tolerate.
