It is correct to state there is a degree of resentment about the flamboyancy and success of Nigerians in South Africa but we brought that upon ourselves by our outlandishness.

This does not however give anyone an excuse to harm anyone else but indeed there is a degree of jealousy from poor people and I have witnessed this myself.

Mordecai did this against the Jews in Shushan, and he failed. Whoever is fanning these flames of hatred against fellow African brothers will swallow the pill Mordecai swallowed.
Since the South African.government Is turning a blind eye to the nefarious activity, foreigners in South Africa should defend themselves by all means necessary 😎

If immigrants from other countries have any self-respect left in them they should be leaving South Africa in droves by now. Your host country citizens say they don't want you staying in their country anymore. If you have sense of shame and self dignity you should leave and return to your home country.
Exactly

[quote author=mastermaestro post=139598079]And leave behind their huge investments and assets just like that? Goods in shops, money in banks, landed properties, and you expect they should just walk away. Think deeply bro.


[Was it yesterday that the problem started? What were immigrants doing investing and acquiring landed property in a land they're not wanted or welcomed? Wanting to live in another country by force will just end in not only your investments being looted, but in your life being endangered also. ]

We don't have a problem with people from other countries, we are just tired of them commiting crimes. Those not commiting crimes are employed because they take far less salaries. We fought against apartheid so that we get can living wages now these people are undermining that. And then they will tell us we are lazy because we don't take slave wages

SA economy is far more advanced than others in Africa. You cant sit in Lagos in dusty flip flops and act like an expert on SA socio-economic realities. We won't sell casava on our heads in an economy that manufacturers Mercedes.

June 30: Army Not Deployed For Deadline To Push Illegal Migrants Out of SA


VIDEO: June 30 "deadline" for undocumented foreign nationals to leave SA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNRpZUPHbc?si=q7pgsdG1Z_Wqi9-j

JUNE 30 DEADLINE

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has dismissed claims that soldiers will be deployed ahead of planned protest action linked to the June 30 "deadline" for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa, while police say they remain on high alert for any violence, intimidation, or acts of vigilantism.

The June 30 date has gained traction on social media and in public mobilisation campaigns across the country, following a wave of protests by movements calling for the removal or repatriation of undocumented foreign nationals.

In recent weeks, the campaign has spread across communities and provinces, with posters, videos, and public statements circulating widely online and fuelling fears of possible unrest.

SA DEFENCE FORCE

However, the SANDF has denied reports suggesting that soldiers were being prepared for deployment in anticipation of protest action on June 30.

"The South African National Defence Force has noted with concern misleading reports on social media suggesting that the SANDF will be deployed in anticipation of planned marches and protest action on June 30, 2026, by various civil society groups calling for the repatriation of illegal nationals," the SANDF said.

"The SANDF dismisses these claims as false, unfounded, and deliberately misleading. At no stage has the SANDF issued any directive or made preparations for deployment in relation to these activities."

The defence force said while the Constitution allowed for peaceful protest, the spread of unverified claims risked creating unnecessary public panic.

"The SANDF appreciates that the Constitution of the Republic allows peaceful protest marches. The SANDF distances itself entirely from these claims and cautions against the dissemination of unverified information that undermines public trust and creates unnecessary alarm."

PROTEST LEADERS

The denial comes as March and March, one of the movements at the centre of the anti-undocumented immigration campaign, has continued to attract public attention over its position on the June 30 date.

At a media briefing earlier this week, March and March founder Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma said the movement supported the broader concerns being raised, but denied that it had set the deadline.

"We are a team, and we support each other in the same ideology. We as March and March did not issue the June 30 deadline," Ngobese-Zuma said.

According to Ngobese-Zuma, the date was issued by others who shared the same ideology.

SA POLICE SERVICE

National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure, known as NATJOINTS, was aware of and monitoring public mobilisation and campaigns linked to illegal immigration, including activities being promoted ahead of June 30.

"SAPS respects the constitutional right of individuals and organisations to express themselves and to protest lawfully and peacefully," Mathe said.

She said police were assessing possible risks to public safety, public order, and community stability.

"As with any planned mobilisation or public gathering, SAPS (SA Police Service)continuously assesses potential risks to public safety, public order, and community stability. Law enforcement remains alert to any incidents or actions that may lead to violence, intimidation, incitement, destruction of property, or the targeting of individuals or groups."

Mathe said the SAPS Public Order Policing units, Crime Intelligence, and other operational environments, through NATJOINTS, remained on high alert nationally to ensure that any gatherings stayed within the law.

"SAPS will act decisively against any acts of vigilantism, criminality, threats, assault, malicious damage to property, or conduct that undermines the rule of law and the constitutional rights of others, irrespective of nationality."

She said issues relating to undocumented foreign nationals remained the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and the Department of Home Affairs, and had to be dealt with through lawful processes.

"SAPS calls on all communities, organisations, and stakeholders to act responsibly and to refrain from taking the law into their own hands," Mathe said.

"The police appeal for calm, tolerance, and compliance with the law, and warn that anyone found committing criminal acts under the guise of activism or community action will face the full might of the law."

It is not commited by a minority it is commited under the watchful eye of their xenophobic government and security agents.

Didnt u see where they told people to leave their business and go back. Even those with papers. That is what most of them are doing. Dont let this guy decieve u.

He once said no african immigrants have been killed but it was later admited by his xenophobic government that 3 people had been killex then and now more have been killed.

Let him show u a video where people with legal papers are checked and allowed to stay.

There are many videos online with security agents either doing nothing and helping the africans leave the area rather than confronting the xenophobics.

The government knows about the killings are are doing nothing, they are not investigating.

Last they are not "some" they are wide spread asking all black foreigners to go. They only want white people. Its a shame undecided

1. I have yet to come across such videos. Also, if they were caught on camera, have the authorities been informed? 🥱

2. Did the government state this or are you assuming this? 🤔

3. Last I checked, many of those whites are themselves South Africans, born and raised. So, why should they prefer foreigners in this case. Also, white South Africans are also being discriminated against by the government of South Africa. I recall the back and forth Trump had with SA where about 6900 white South Africans left of the US. 🤔

if some says they are doing something about and issue but the issue still persist and increasing will u believe them?

The issue of black South Africans and white South Africans is a different issue based majorly on resources they are not asking them to go because they know they can't even do that the whites will not listen to them and there is nothing they can do.

My earlier points about blacks or whites was specifically to foreigners, they are not attacking or driving away white people who are foreigners because they think they are better than their fellow blacks.

This is the current mentality of the xenophobic self hating black South Africans.

1. I don't believe them. However, at the same time, I know not to expect the government to get me results overnight, especially one like South Africa.

2. White South Africans are being discriminated against in their own country. They are being attacked, and some have had their properties looted. That is even worse than the issue with illegal aliens, in my opinion, as governments are primarily designed to protect first the interests of their citizenry before that of all others. undecided

3. According to stats, the vast majority of illegal immigrants in South Africa are black Africans(over 75%), while the rest are mostly from the Middle East and parts of Asia. What whites are you alluding to? undecided

4. Self-hating, yet what they have been agitating for is that foreigners -- possibly millions of them -- be removed from their country? While I am not for criminal attacks and looting, something I hope the government is indeed investigating and doing something about, I understand all too well what having illegal immigrants can do to general safety and the economy of a nation. We see that playing out in Nigeria with the terrorists, many of them illegal immigrants who have been ravaging the country for over a decade now, and have already made their way into parts of Oyo State, killing and destroying lives in their way. undecided

They are self hating and xenophobic cos they are hating on their own race. killing their own race.

The government is the one attacking white South Africans not the black South Africans themselves. White foreigners are not being attacked.

I'm not interested in beating about the Bush here.

1. That sounds a lot like a biased assessment of things. On the other hand, hating oneself is not a crime or a civil issue that one should use as a reason to ignore the issue being raised, which is illegal immigration. undecided

2. Isn't that the same government you accuse of turning the other way as illegal immigrants are being protested against by the black South Africans? undecided

3. I would say that is much of what most foreigners have been doing for a long time now whenever the issue of illegal immigration and deportation of said aliens is raised in South Africa. The fact remains that immigration is not a right, but a privilege extended only by government to the select few, on its own terms. Citizens have a right to demand that illegal aliens be removed by their government from their territory. undecided

Seems u cant read the read by reading i btwn the lines, infact they have been saying it boldly without mincing words but seems u are either unaware or pretending to be.

Illegal immigration is a decoy after the backlash has gone global so the educated and widely travelled southafricans who have international commitments or businesses are trying to soften the truth and reality but their local lowlife southafrican brothers keep embarassing them online. And the stupidd ones seem to be in the majority to the exposed one.

This xenophobia been twisted into antiimigration and illegal migrants when we all know they asked both legal and illegals to leave southafrica.

Black southafricans hate black africans. They like whites except for the whites who built southafrica and taking more of their resources.
